IMS Senior Jury Consulting Advisor Jill Leibold, PhD, will join a CLE event hosted by Scott Douglass & McConnico, LLP in Austin, Texas, on August 20. Her presentation, titled The New Normal in Our Jury Pools: Conspiracism, Safetyism, and Radical Anti-Corporate/Anti-Government Sentiments, explores how evolving societal beliefs are influencing juror attitudes and what that means for legal strategy.

Dr. Leibold will discuss:

  • The psychological impact of safetyism and polarized politics on jury pools
  • The rise of mainstream conspiracism and its courtroom implications
  • How these trends have led to extreme verdicts across diverse litigation types
  • Practical strategies for mitigating bias and adapting trial strategy

This session highlights IMS’ commitment to helping legal teams navigate the evolving dynamics of juror decision-making and the growing risk of nuclear verdicts. Explore all our strategic presentation offerings below, as well as insights from Dr. Leibold and her colleagues about addressing safetyism at trial.
