Unreferenced date December 2007 Jury research is an umbrella term for various methods of research associated with jury trial s. It could include but is not limited to prospective jurors demographic research, mock trial s, jury selection , shadow jury or post trial jury interviews. Generally jury research is a part of a trial strategy in high stakes cases in civil or criminal litigation. History There have been plenty of attempts to use science particularly psychology or sociology to get an edge in jury trials. Jury research was successfully used during the History of IBM 1969 1979 The System 370 era IBM antitrust trial in 1969 and O. J. Simpson murder case . Today, there are many companies and individuals providing services as jury consultants or trial strategists. Research for jury trials comprises a small proportion of jury research. Academic research on juries produces hundreds of articles per year from scholars in psychology, communication, sociology, and criminal justice. This research is conducted to understand how juries operate rather than to give one side or the other an edge in a specific trial. Jury consultants and trial strategists represent just a few of the people who research jury trials. Methods and myths Jury consultants can not guarantee victory in a case, nor can they pick a jury that will rule in their client s favor. Their job is rather to shape trial team strategy so it tells the most persuasive story accommodating a particular venue s jurors preexisting beliefs and experiences.
