   There are almost as many kinds of jury consultants as there are lawsuits. Currently, there are no state or national standards relating to the qualifications of people who call themselves jury consultants. In addition, there are no formal educational or training programs or licensing requirements. In short, anyone can decide he/she has what it takes to work as a jury consultant. This means that many people who are charging a lot of money for their services lack the qualifications necessary for effective insight into difficult and often, complicated trial work. Typically, qualified jury researchers hold a doctorate degree in psychology, sociology, or communications and have considerable experience in the law arena. Qualified jury researchers usually belong to organizations that impose ethical standards which impact their work with attorneys. Ethical standards impact everything from recruitment of research participants to report preparation. Before you retain a jury consultant, check his or her qualifications so that you are an informed consumer of these services.
