The Trust In Justice Project: A Conversation with Leading Trial Consultant Richard Gabriel

The New York County Lawyers Association is proud to present our latest episode of the NYCLA Amicus Curiae Podcast with Host Daniel K. Wiig. Our guest is Richard Gabriel, considered the nation’s leading trial consultant.  Since 1985, Mr. Gabriel has been a leader in the field of jury research, jury selection and litigation communication with experience in nearly 2,000 trials in both the civil and criminal arenas across the country. Daniel and Richard's conversation delves into the recent findings of the Trust in Justice Project. The Trust in Justice Project is an initiative committed to understanding and addressing the declining trust in America’s legal institutions. Confidence in the judicial system is critical to the stability of the American democracy. Richard designed and coordinated a project with the American Board of Trial Advocates and the American Society of Trial Consultants. According to the Decision Analysis website, the the results of the project "were eye-opening, revealing how the public viewed the perceived bias of the courts and police, how well they thought the justice system worked, how fair they thought the courts and the overall system worked, how well they understood the system, and how the media’s reporting on the system contributed to their views."
