For those who don’t know, I send out periodic email newsletters. The newsletters often contain trial tips that are too secretive to post on an open forum. Toward that end, I am about to start launching a series of newsletters based upon juror interviews I have done in the past.

It still astounds me how unaware the court system and some attorneys are regarding juror bias and prejudice.

If you’ve ever done a focus group and tracked juror attitudes as the case progresses from plaintiff’s statement through defendant’s statement and into juror deliberations, you may have seen group polarization in action.
