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.
Evolution by natural selection can be described as a robust scientific theory. In scientific terms, a theory is not merely a guess; it is a well-substantiated explanation based on a body of evidence and observations. While specific mechanisms and details may continue to be refined, the overarching framework of evolution by natural selection remains supported by extensive empirical data, making it a foundational concept in biology.
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.
Evolution by natural selection can be described as a scientific theory. In scientific terminology, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence and has withstood rigorous testing and scrutiny. While it has not been proven false, it remains open to refinement and further testing as new evidence emerges.
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.
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.
