Baker County Courthouse,
Maccleny, Florida
The Baker County Courthouse was built as
a W.P.A. project between the years of 1941 and 1948. The delay
in its construction was due to World War II. Its distinguishing
features are a patio with four iron columns and two pilasters
with the scales of justice in relief.
Attorneys Are From Venus, Jurors Are From
Mars
A recent survey compared attorneys and jury eligible citizens
on a wide variety of characteristics, including demographics,
lifestyle factors, life experiences, health behavior, personality,
and attitudes regarding lawsuits and tort issues. Analysis
of the surveys revealed that, on 86% of the questions asked,
attorneys and jurors responded completely different from one
another, often in opposite directions. The survey results
provide valuable insight for attorneys in understanding why
jurors reach unpredictable conclusions regarding case facts
and why jurors' decisions are based on knowledge that is vastly
different from attorneys' knowledge.

the way you approach your next case.
