Survey
Research
The
use of surveys is becoming more and more important in high
stakes or high profile litigation. At TrialTech
we us surveys to measure individual and community awareness
and predispositions towards case specific issues and themes.
The results are Presented as a quantitative analysis of the
demographic and attitudinal information obtained from the
research. Many times, the results can be used to indicate
favorable or unfavorable jurors.
Change
of Venue Studies
In both civil and criminal cases, changing
venue is a process used in the struggle to obtain a fair trial.
Juror prejudices due to pre-trial publicity or pre-existing
community attitudes are often the primary grounds for seeking
such a change. In civil suits, we must also consider
the economic variable that could also affect attitudes.
Community
Attitude Surveys
Community attitude surveys provide important
and useful information about the attitudes of potential jurors
on both general and specific aspects of the case, including
the parties involved in the litigation. Through the
use of community attitude surveys, we learn how bias may affect
jurors' reactions.
