About · since 1962
The Northwest's record of record.
Since 1962, Jury Verdicts Northwest has told the region's legal community what juries award, what cases settle for, and who tried them.
Jury Verdicts Northwest began in 1962, when verdict reporting meant a typewriter, courthouse phone calls, and a mailing list of Washington trial lawyers. The premise was simple and it has not changed: attorneys value cases better when they can see what actually happened in cases like theirs.
Every case is rewritten by hand into one consistent, comparable format.
However a case reaches us, it is rewritten into the same careful format, so each report carries what a working lawyer needs: the parties and their counsel, the experts and their credentials, the injuries, the specials, the demand and offer where disclosed, and the result.
Today that work spans four regional publications, a custom search desk, and a searchable research database covering reports from 2000 forward. Published reports are also submitted to Westlaw and LexisNexis for inclusion in their national databases.
Jury Verdicts Northwest remains an independent, Washington-based publisher, led by Melissa Reynolds. The methods have modernized — online delivery, PDF back issues, and now a searchable research database — but the standard is the 1962 standard: careful, complete, and useful the day it arrives.
