Topic: The Jury Trial: Don't Go In There Alone presented by Ms. Melisa Holm.

Bio: Ms. Holm is a Resident Consultant with Jury Behavior Research. She specializes in the planning, operation, and analysis of data from trial simulations. She has over a dozen years of experience supervising trial simulations and the management of their planning. She coordinates all in-office preparations for focus groups and manages most on-site operations. She observes the deliberations of more than 40 panels of surrogate jurors in an average year to determine logic trends. She coordinates all trial simulation projects, from contract to final report. Ms. Holm is the designated problem-solver for all issues involving trial simulations.

Melisa began her career in trial consulting nearly 15 years ago, when she interned with Dr. Baggott and began her journey into the management intricacies of a research firm. In her position as a Resident Consultant, she can be found at the home office in Tucson, when not out supervising projects on site. When conducting trial simulations, she can usually be found crunching numbers as the project moves along so she, and other consultants, can have meaningful on-site dialogue with clients and attorneys as the project unfolds.

Ms. Holm’s academic credentials are outstanding. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Arizona, where she maintained an overall GPA of 3.8. In her final semester, she took a full course load, worked in her internship and functioned as a teacher’s assistant for a class of over 600 students. In spite of all these activities, she maintained a 4.0GPA for that final semester. The dedication shown to her labors in college is continuously displayed at Jury Behavior Research.

Ms. Holm may be reached via e-mail at: melisa@juryadvisor.com As Ms. Holm is often traveling with Jury Behavior Research, she may also be reached via cell at (520) 878-6633.
