Jury Bias

Plaintiffs often lose cases they should win. These cases are often lost due to jury bias, not the actual strength of the evidence. The group aims to educate members about how jury bias in tort cases impacts jury verdict preferences. The group will exchange cutting-edge research so attorneys can minimize the effects of jury bias and tort “reform” rhetoric. The group will provide members with information and advice about focus groups, mock juries, and jury consultants. The group will also establish a document library, a list server, and present educational programs at upcoming AAJ Conventions. The Jury Bias Litigation Group was established in October 2008.

  • Meetings: The group meets at AAJ Annual and Winter conventions.
  • Membership: The group is limited to AAJ Regular, Life, Sustaining, and President’s Club members only.
  • Annual Dues: $150/attorney
