How You Can Help

In the realm of academic research focused on the legal system and juries, financial support plays a pivotal role. Donations, no matter the size, can have a significant impact by providing the necessary resources for researchers to carry out their work effectively.

Here are some straightforward ways in which monetary contributions can support academic research:

  • Funding Research Projects: Donations enable researchers to finance their studies. These projects could involve surveys, data collection, or experiments related to juror behavior and court procedures. They could also involve analysis of existing data on jury behavior that there has not been funding to investigate.
  • Staffing JEDI: Generous contributions can be used to hire a qualified researcher whose sole purpose will be to organize studies, analyze data, and produce high-quality research for judges, lawyers, and legislatures.
  • Access to Resources: Money can be used to acquire necessary resources like research tools, technology, and access to databases. These resources enhance the quality and depth of research.
  • Conducting Experimental Studies: Jury research often involves experiments or simulations. Donations can support the setup of mock courtrooms, participant recruitment, and data analysis for these studies.
  • Publication and Dissemination: Research findings need to be shared with the legal community and the public. Donations can cover the costs of publishing research papers, organizing conferences, and creating educational materials.
  • Promoting Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Collaborative research across different fields, like law and psychology, benefits from financial support for meetings, workshops, and joint projects.

In essence, monetary donations provide the necessary resources for researchers to investigate crucial aspects of our legal system, ultimately contributing to a better understanding of jury behavior and the court system’s functioning. Your contribution can make a real difference in advancing this vital area of study and improving the fairness and effectiveness of our legal processes.
