This volume will be a handbook that treats trial consulting as
applied psychology. The purpose of the volume will be to collect
the viewpoints of leaders in the field of psychology and law who
apply the discipline's theoretical models, methods, and ethics to
assist litigators to try cases in the most effective way possible.
As a whole, the collection of chapters will describe the theory,
business, and mechanics of trial consulting for those interested in
learning and practicing the profession. However, it will do so from
the perspective of organized theories of jury-decision making. In
other words, the work of juror researchers will inform the
recommendations and suggestions in the handbook. The volume
consists of six sections, each pertaining to a different topic.
Multiple chapters with different authors will cover each topic. The
topics and corresponding seven sections will be 1) An Introduction
to the Theory and Psychology of Jury Decision-Making, 2) Applied
Research Methodologies for Trial Consultants, 3) Education and
Ethical Considerations for Trial Consultants, 4) Preparing and
Cross Examining Witnesses, 5) Technology and Demonstrative Evidence
at Trial, and 6) Special Topics in Trial Consulting. Each section
will begin with the editors' short introduction reviewing that
section and explaining its goals, objectives, and content. Separate
individuals, recognized as leaders in their areas will write the
remaining chapters in each section. These individuals come from the
fields of both psychology and law, and represent viewpoints on
these topics from a practice-oriented perspective, but a
perspective that is emerges from research results. They are
affiliated with a number of academic institutions, including
University of Nebraska, John Jay College of Criminal Justice,
University of Texas, University of Chicago Simon Fraser University,
and private law firms.
