Using Jury Research as a Reality Check
On numerous occasions, Magnus Research Consultants has been asked by attorneys to conduct mock jury research as a "reality check" for their clients. In these instances, plaintiffs' attorneys have indicated that their clients have unrealistic expectations about receiving a multimillion dollar verdict when the attorneys believe a substantially lower verdict is a more likely result. In a similar vein, defense attorneys often indicate that the corporations and insurance companies they represent undervalue cases that the attorneys believe have the potential for a runaway verdict. When we have conducted jury research on cases in which attorneys and their clients have disparate views, the mock jury verdicts provide convincing proof in support of one point of view. Consider conducting jury research to obtain a realistic picture of the value of the case, so that both you and your client can make an informed decision as to its overall value.
