Jury Consultant Duties & Responsibilities
This job requires candidates to be able to perform a variety of duties, which include both pretrial tasks and duties that take place during a trial. Jury consultants are integral to the legal process even before a trial begins, and they engage in several pretrial duties, such as:
• Research the jurors' backgrounds.
• Create juror profiles.
• Assist with jury selection and voir dire—the questioning of prospective jurors.
• May conduct focus groups and mock trials.
• Conduct pretrial research.
• Gather and analyze demographic data.
• Perform statistical analyses.
• Draft analytic reports.
During a trial, developing trial strategies to help shape juror perceptions is one of the most important responsibilities of a jury consultant because it can lead to a favorable outcome. The consultant will:
• Provide insight into jurors' body language and behavior at trial.
• Coach witnesses for the best possible presentation of facts under questioning.
• Help lawyers identify arguments and develop strategies.
• Create courtroom graphics and multimedia presentations to help the attorney weave a compelling and persuasive story for the jury.

Katherine’s Answer
Civilian groups used to determine the facts or whether the defendant is guilty (depending on local laws)
In some countries or regions, there are substitute jurors to produce and listen to cases with jurors. If the official jurors cannot complete the work for some reason, the substitute jurors will take over and vote. In other places, if a juror quits halfway, it is necessary to dissolve the original jury, re-elect a new jury, and restart the trial process. If a juror is absent from the trial without reasonable reason, it is illegal and can be prosecuted by law.

Hey Katherine! Great answer so far.
Could you build a bit more on specifically a *jury consultant?
In this answer you address the jury and substitute jurors but not consultants.
