Scientific jury selection began in the 1970s, particularly gaining prominence after the publication of the book "Jury Selection: Strategy and Tactics" by psychologist Dr. R. J. M. MacCoun. This approach employs social science research and statistical methods to analyze potential jurors' Demographics and psychological profiles, aiming to predict their behavior and attitudes during trials. The use of focus groups and mock trials also became common during this period, marking a significant shift in how attorneys approached jury selection.
The two types of challenges in the jury selection process are challenges for cause and peremptory challenges. Challenges for cause are based on specific reasons why a juror may be biased or unable to be impartial. Peremptory challenges allow attorneys to dismiss a certain number of potential jurors without stating a reason.
The jury is still out on that, but based on careful and thorough analysis of samples collected from Mars so far, the majority scientific opinion is that it's unlikely.
Well, that's not possible. It is called a theory because it can't be definitively proved. For instance, we know gravity exists, so it is a scientific law, but there is no definite proof for evolution, so it is just a theory.
Evolution by natural selection can be described as a "scientific theory" because it is a well-substantiated explanation of natural phenomena based on a body of evidence and extensive testing. Unlike everyday usage of the term "theory," in scientific contexts, it represents a robust framework that has withstood rigorous scrutiny and has not been proven false. This theory is supported by diverse fields such as genetics, paleontology, and ecology, establishing it as a fundamental principle in understanding biological diversity.
The desire to create scientific heroes led to a focus on Charles Darwin as the sole originator of the theory of evolution by natural selection, overshadowing Wallace's significant contributions. This compromised Wallace's scientific standing by downplaying his role in the development of evolutionary theory and relegating him to a secondary position in scientific history.
The purpose of jury consultants is to examine and determine the profile and attitude of a potential jury. A jury consultant tries to choose or guide the selection of a jury that is unbiased by using scientific methods.

No, that just jury SELECTION; it's legal. Jury TAMPERING involves trying to influence a juror after she/he has been selected.
