Lafayette County Courthouse,
Third Judicial Circuit, Mayo, Florida
Mayo replaced New Troy as the county seat
of Lafayette County in 1892. The courthouse, built in 1909,
created a stir among local residents due to its $47,000.00
cost, thought to be exorbitant for a small county at the time.
The Lafayette County Courthouse is complemented by a bell
tower, with a bell that marks the passing of each hour.
When to Conduct Jury Research
Attorneys often ask when is the optimum time to conduct jury
research. The answer is, "it depends." There are
several times during litigation to conduct jury research in
a way to maximize knowledge gained from the process. Some
attorneys conduct jury research before a case is filed, to
determine whether it is worth pursuing. Most attorneys conduct
jury research before discovery is completed, so that deposition
questions can be posed to answer potential jurors' concerns.
Many attorneys now use jury research findings to aid them
in the mediation process and/or to evaluate a case's settlement
value. Pre-trial jury research, although until recently the
most common time for commissioning jury research, remains
an appropriate time. It is important to remember, however,
that jury research must be conducted early enough to allow
even a total restructuring of the case, if warranted.
