Central District of California
DRC provided pro-bono trial consulting services in a high-profile civil rights case arising from the use of excessive force during a 2020 protest in Los Angeles. The case involved claims of bodily injury and constitutional violations against law enforcement officers and raised significant issues regarding police accountability and protestor rights. DRC contributed at every stage of trial preparation and presentation, including jury focus groups, trial strategy consulting, and demonstrative aids that helped the jury navigate complex factual and legal issues. The trial resulted in a landmark $375,000 verdict against an individual officer, reinforcing the power of targeted trial strategy and effective juror communication in civil rights litigation.
