DOAR & John Jay Partner to Foster the Next Generation of Trial Consultants

John Jay College of Criminal Justice and DOAR, Inc., are thrilled to announce an expanded partnership made possible through DOAR’s generous investment in the academic and professional success of John Jay student scholars enrolled in the MA in Forensic Psychology and the Psychology & Law PhD Programs. The DOAR Trial Consulting Partnership Fund will advance students’ knowledge of the trial consultancy field and build a robust pipeline of graduate students who want to make trial consultancy and/or jury research their careers. Additionally, this initiative will provide scholarship support and paid experiential opportunities for students that develop the skills they need to succeed in this vital industry. Key opportunities available through this inspiring partnership include a limited number of its graduate student researchers who are conducting research that could inform the practice of litigation consulting.
