DRI-The Voice of the Defense Bar, the nation’s leading association of civil defense lawyers, today released a random-sample national public opinion poll produced by Langer Research Associates on attitudes toward the U.S. system of civil jurisprudence. The results include self-assessments of potentially biased views of litigants, measures of public confidence in the civil law system and attitudes about class-action lawsuits, including personal experience with such cases. The survey finds broad preference for lawsuits to be tried by jury, buttressed by overwhelming acceptance among Americans of jury duty as a civic obligation. See the news release and full report here. The survey’s been reported by Legal Times.
