Josh Dubin is the Founder of Dubin Research and Consulting, Inc. (DRC), a Manhattan-based consulting firm that specializes in jury selection, persuasive visual aids, and trial strategy for complex civil and criminal matters. Josh is regarded as perhaps the most preeminent trial strategy and jury consultant in the nation, having earned high praise from some of the most accomplished members of both the civil and criminal bars. An attorney and member of the Florida Bar, Josh regularly works with some of the most successful attorneys and law firms in the country, including Quinn Emanuel, Paul Weiss, Holland & Knight, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Roy Black, David Markus, Barry Scheck and Jerry Lefcourt. His background as an experienced trial attorney with an apprenticeship in applied social psychology (concentration in jury selection and group decision-making dynamics) has served as the foundation for the paradigm at DRC – providing sophisticated, out-of-the-box analytical advice, integrating the most innovative legal and social psychology strategies, within the specific context of jury trials, bench trials, and alternative dispute resolution.
Over the past 25 years, Josh has assisted with jury selection, witness preparation, and trial strategy on a wide range of high-profile criminal and criminal cases all over the country.
ABC’s 20/20 regarded Josh as the “leading jury and legal consultant on major criminal and civil cases. He has written thousands of voir dire questions, watched hundreds of jury members file into courtrooms around the country, and is often sought by top-tier defense attorneys and plaintiffs’ attorneys for his advice on jury selection, trial strategy and presenting the facts.”
He recently co-authored a book entitled The Law of Juries for Thomson Reuters, who referred to him as a “master strategist” and “secret weapon.” His co-author, former United States Federal Judge Nancy Gertner, praised him by saying “he completely masters the details of the case, and brings to bear not only legal analysis, but also the teachings of social psychology, his multiple areas of expertise.”
Josh is also the Executive Director of the Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice at Cardozo Law, which works to free the wrongfully incarcerated, and individuals serving unjust sentences. The Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice is comprised of two components. The first is a student field clinic called The Perlmutter Freedom Clinic at Cardozo Law, which focuses on fighting wrongful convictions based on the misuse of scientific evidence and works to obtain clemency for individuals unjustly incarcerated. The second is The Perlmutter Forensic Science Education Program, features an ambitious legal education program in scientific evidence designed for practicing attorneys. The Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice builds on the decades-long success of Cardozo’s Forensic Science College.
