Jury Research the Magnus Way, Part 3
In the third, and final, postcard on the topic, "Jury Research the Magnus Way," the issue of mock jurors’ participation will be addressed. In addition to careful recruitment of mock jurors to ensure a representative sample of research participants, Magnus Research Consultants also takes strong steps to ensure that mock jurors never know which party to a lawsuit has retained Magnus. It is imperative, for research purposes, to keep research participants "blind" about the side that has commissioned jury research so that they do not reach decisions merely to help the party that is paying for their participation. One important reason why "do it yourself" mock trials are problematic is that mock jurors invariably figure out which side has hired them, leading to biased and unreliable research results. Retaining Magnus ensures that your research results are an accurate reflection of jurors’ opinions, especially if the results are unfavorable.
