Pinellas County Courthouse,
Sixth Judicial Circuit, Clearwater, Florida
The historic Pinellas County Courthouse in
Clearwater was built in 1918, over the protests of citizens
who wanted St. Petersburg as their county seat. The courthouse
is of Classical Revival style and has recently been restored
to its original grandeur. Modern courtrooms and a law library
are housed in this courthouse.
Jury Research the Magnus Way - Part
1
Attorneys who have never worked with Magnus Research Consultants
often ask us to explain what differentiates Magnus from our
competitors. In a series of postcards, we will explain several
ways that Magnus is different from our competitors. The first
factor concerns Magnus’ avoidance of sample bias in
our recruitment of mock jurors. Magnus recruits mock jurors
scientifically; we use Census information from the trial venue
to have each panel of jurors reflect the actual composition
of jury eligible citizens. We then "cold call" or
"randomly recruit" all potential mock jurors until
we have constructed a panel that conforms to the Census data.
We never recruit mock jurors like some of our competitors
do by using a database of repeat jurors, placing ads in the
newspaper or on the Internet, or using employees from a temporary
agency. In general, Magnus expends considerable time and expense
to avoid sample bias that would ultimately compromise our
clients’ research.

the "Magnus Way."
