(Even a Jarl is still mortal and can give in to despair. Something like losing a loved one, or even exposing information that will rather be embarassing if made public.

Also... threatening to spread a deadly plague, cutting off an 'asset', or reminding them of a dangerous organization that will come for them(A good example is the Dark Brotherhood.) if they fail to comply can convince even a Jarl to "cooperate" with you.)

(Kidnapping and holding hostages also seems to work in blackmailing.)

(An example is if Vignar was the Jarl of Whiterun.. I'd kidnap some of his relatives and threaten to kill them if Vignar refuses to help me.)
