The COVID-Era Juror: Attitudes, Implications, and Strategies

Please join us on Tuesday, March 2 at 3 PM ET for the next installment of PLAC’s ongoing series on Present Threats to Fair Jury Trials.
 
As the number of jury trials begins to climb, it is critical for manufacturer-defendants to understand the jurors they will be seeing and the implications of the pandemic on juror attitudes.  During this presentation you will hear: An experienced jury consultant for product manufacturers present data from a multi-month, 30,000+ response survey of potential jurors on the impact of COVID on their thinking and decision-making. Trial counsel who just successfully completed a full scale live products liability trial discuss how COVID impacted the selection of and presentation to the jury. Discussion of the plans and projections made by various state and federal courts on when and how they will re-start jury trials. The arguments to preserve the rights of manufacturer-defendants to a fair jury.
