It's All About Responsibility
Personal responsibility is a common expression that evokes
strong feelings in many people. Magnus has had the opportunity
to interact with thousands of jury eligible citizens over
the past ten years. Personal responsibility emerges as a theme
in many deliberations as jurors attempt to apportion blame
among the litigants. Magnus has polled approximately 1,500
mock jurors on the issue of personal responsibility. Interestingly,
45% of mock jurors believe companies take responsibility for
their actions and 45% of mock jurors believe individuals take
responsibility for their actions. Given today's climate of
corporate irresponsibility, these findings are somewhat counterintuitive.
Overall, jurors usually examine litigants' actions in terms
of what they would have done in a similar situation, leading
them to criticize a party who has failed to take personal
responsibility.

jurors' views on the important issue of personal responsibility.
