A round table discussion with top litigators and social scientists exploring how major world events such as the COVID-19 pandemic can impact juror attitudes.
History proves that major world events impact juror attitudes. The 2008 recession shifted viewpoints regarding big corporations, while the 9/11 attack framed new levels of sympathy. Now, the COVID-19 pandemic brings its own attitudes and beliefs to the table which demand a close look plus an updated strategy to prepare for upcoming cases. Join us for a roundtable discussion featuring top litigators and social scientists who break down current juror attitudes and provide you with insight around:
- Historic trends - highlighting how juror attitudes pivot with major events and what it may mean for your upcoming cases
- Current events - diving into research around both the open-arms attitudes and skepticism regarding big corporations, doctors and scientific data
- Jurors' cognitive load - citing the abnormally high stress levels of the pandemic and ways to alleviate anxiety, stabilize stressors and encourage engagement from jurors
