Ethics in Litigation Research
There are almost as many kinds of jury consultants as there
are lawsuits. Currently, there are no state or national standards
relating to the qualifications of people who call themselves
jury consultants. In addition, there are no formal educational
or training programs or licensing requirements. In short,
anyone can decide he/she has what it takes to work as a jury
consultant. This means that many people who are charging a
lot of money for their services lack the qualifications necessary
for effective insight into difficult and often, complicated
trial work. Typically, qualified jury researchers hold a doctorate
degree in psychology, sociology, or communications and have
considerable experience in the law arena. Qualified jury researchers
usually belong to organizations that impose ethical standards
which impact their work with attorneys. Ethical standards
impact everything from recruitment of research participants
to report preparation. Before you retain a jury consultant,
check his or her qualifications so that you are an informed
consumer of these services.
