Determine probable verdict and
estimated damage award to assist in settlement decisions;
-
Pretest comprehensibility of
complex or controversial evidence and testimony;
-
Enhance the effectiveness of
witness testimony;
-
Maximize the impact of
demonstrative evidence;

attitudes and beliefs.
PROCEDURE
LRT Research utilizes jury deliberation
panels, focus groups, attitude surveys and other research methodology to
assess potential reactions to evidence, witnesses,
documents, attorneys, exhibits and instructions. Further, we pretest
for psychological, emotional or non-legal factors, which may affect the
outcome of a case. Our innovative research techniques have been
carefully adapted from the social sciences for utilization in
litigation analysis. With these procedures, we help attorneys understand the perceptions, biases, and prejudices that people bring with
them to the courtroom, and how they will react to various aspects of the
trial. Consequently, we are able to recommend strategies and tactics
to maximize the persuasive impact.
Our Sole Purpose and Specialization is
conducting litigation research to evaluate and enhance litigation strategies and tactics. All of our results and
recommendations are derived from specific jury research studies
designed and conducted to meet the needs of each case. The results
of our studies provide an objective, unbiased view of how jurors will
react to the case.
