Voire Dire/Juror Selection
Witness Preparation
Trial Monitoring Expert Witness
Testimony
Testing Arguments & Exploring Case Issues Among Jurors & Other Target Groups By:
-Qualitative Research -Quantitative Research
10
11
JURY TRIAL SIMULATI0NAd hoc design to fit the case and counsel needs
Basics:
- jury panel from potential juror pool versus retired judge
- client lawyers representing plaintiff/defense (role playing as needed)
- witnesses needing rehearsal
- suitable research venue w/ recruitment/facilities/audio-video
- consultant/researcher for monitoring and investigating juror perceptions and attitudes, developing implications during the simulation
12
JURY TRIAL SIMULATION Length designed in proportion to needs, minimum 4 hours, maximum = days?
Cost = $8,000 and up
Timing = week to prepare,immediate results and recommendations
Location = research facility where the jury pool lives
Output = verbal or written report, transcripts
QUESTIONS?
13
Survey Research Purposes:
To test hypotheses about case issues among designated target groups
To prove or disprove claims made by Plaintiffs and Defendants in Case filings
Ultimately generating statistically significant or otherwise reliable information (trend data) covering key issues of people’s perceptions, attitudes and behavior involved in the claims.
14
Survey Research - Continued Methods
- Face to face (offices, central research locations, trade shows, spectator events, etc.)
- Phone (CATI) Centers
- Internet
15
Survey Research - Continued Procedure (Planning) 1) Determination of specific purpose of the research,I.e., “to prove”, “demonstrate”, “establish”, etc.
2) Delineation of target group(s) to be interviewed
3) Establishment of best method of data collection
4) Selection of appropriate sample size
5) Questionnaire Design
16
Survey Research - Continued Procedure (Execution) 6) Interviewing
7) Data Processing
8) Analysis and “report” 9) Declaration 10) Expert Testimony
17
Survey Research - Continued Participants in Survey Execution
1) Research experts
2) Specialized Field Operations (CATI, Web, Central locations, etc.)
3) Sample Source 4) Data Processing Operations
18
Survey Research - Continued Timing and Costs
Both are wide open dependent on resources and case needs Research Costs are generally quoted at a fixed price with a +/- 10% contingency
QUESTIONS?
19
Qualitative Research Purpose
To generate and/or refine HYPOTHESES about the way designated target groups
“ perceive”, “ form attitudes about”, and “ behave
towards” RELEVANT STIMULI such as: people current/past events social issues weather, religion, philosophies specific case issues -- everything else
20
Qualitative Research-Continued
Methods
1) Focus Groups 2) Individual Interviews
1 = peer pressure, social interaction, moderator influence2 = individually processed information
21
Qualitative Research-Continued
Procedure
1) Determination of specific purpose of the research,I.e., “to prove”, “demonstrate”, “establish”, etc.
2) Delineation of target group(s) to be interviewed
3) Development of Moderator/Interviewer guide 4) Schedule and complete interviewing by Psychologist appropriately briefed on case-relevant science
5) Analysis and “report”
22
Qualitative Research-Continued
Timing and Costs Again, wide open: Depends on number of interviews or group
sessions, difficultly of accessing the respondent targets, and the length of the interview instrument/amount of information collected
23
Proper use of Qualitative & Quantitative Research
Qualitative: - to generate insights - discover the full range of possibilities - formulate hypotheses and discuss possible implications
Quantitative - to show trends, - to test hypotheses - to support statement of facts and implications
24
Qualitative v. Quantitative Research
QUESTIONS?
25
Voire Dire/Juror Selection Purpose: To provide an aid in the selection of
potential jurists most likely to be positively predisposed towards the client side of the case
26
Voire Dire/Juror Selection-Continued
Method = Survey Research
1) Development of a set of questions based on case issues designed to reveal relevant juror predispositions, by isolating specific perceptual, attitudinal and behavior tendencies among a sample of those potential jurors
2) Recruitment of a random sample of potential jurors from the actual case venue
3) Administration of the interview (usually possible by CATI system, unless visuals are required)
4) Tabulation, analysis and “report” of findings
5) Psychologist assistance to counsel in final juror selection
27
Voire Dire/Juror Selection-Continued
Timing and Cost
- normally in a week or two - typical survey costs:
N = 100 $5,000-$7,000 N = 200 $6,000-$11,000 N = 300 $7,000- $15,000
Costs depend on sample size, number and type of questions (open v. closed –end) asked
QUESTIONS?
28
Witness Preparation
Best done in trial simulation circumstances to provide the witness with the look and feel of a potentially hostile environment where pressure will challenge his/her performance
29
Trial Monitoring
Can be only the consultant observing and analyzing, or in some cases, rules permitting, trial observation (live or taped) by a mock jury with debriefings by the consultant similar to jury trial simulation
