IMS is proud to sponsor the Minnesota Defense Lawyers Association (MDLA) Trial Techniques Seminar, taking place August 15-17 in Duluth, MN. We are honored to have Senior Jury Consultant Nick Polavin, PhD presenting at the seminar. Alongside Larson King Attorney Nick Rauch, Dr. Polavin will co-lead a session titled "Safety-ism, Conspiracy-ism, and the Conservative Juror" from 9:45 to 10:45 am CT on Friday, August 16.
The seminar will address the critical issue of nuclear verdicts and the psychological techniques used to influence jury pools. Dr. Polavin and Mr. Rauch will delve into the themes of safetyism and conspiracism, exploring how these concepts sway jurors across the political spectrum. Attendees will gain insights into the underlying science of these themes, supported by extensive studies, and learn proactive strategies to mitigate their impact in litigation.
Dr. Polavin is an experienced consultant who has conducted significant research, authored articles, and given presentations on this topic. Explore some of his latest insights below:
