DEAN’S CIRCLE & Impact Fundraising The University of Denver ASCEND Campaign concluded on June 30, 2014. In celebration and recognition of the many Sturm College of Law donors and friends who made generous financial commitments throughout the course of the 30 campaign, a special Dean’s Circle Dinner was held on March 12, 2015, at Izakaya Den in Denver. Guests enjoyed lively conversation, a multicourse showcase of Izakaya Den and an update from Dean Katz on the future of Denver Law.

Dean’s Circle Dinner donors have contributed $10,000 to the College of Law in the past fiscal year or $100,000+ in total lifetime giving. For the 2015 event, all donors who qualified for Dean’s Circle during the course of the ASCEND

Campaign were invited to celebrate together. DENVER LAW

DENVER LAW DENVER LAW Jury Moneyball

By Assistant Professor of the Practice John Campbell, Associate Professor Bernard Chao, Associate Professor Christopher Robertson and David V. Yokum Editor’s Note: Professors John Campbell and Bernard Chao received the Hughes-Ruud Research grant in 2014 to conduct empirical jury studies. They co-wrote this article with Professor Christopher Robertson of the James E. Rogers College of Law, University of Arizona, and David Yokum, a graduate of the James E. Rogers College of Law. Relying on their backgrounds as trial attorneys, Campbell and Chao are using the grant to apply statistics and modern survey techniques to study common beliefs held by trial attorneys. Their work led to the recent formation of the Denver Empirical Justice Institute, which will promote the value of trial attorneys while examining a variety of trial-related questions in the hopes of informing practice and policy. The full version of this article will appear in the University of Iowa Law Review in spring 2016 (John Campbell et al., “Countering the Plaintiff’s Anchor: Jury Simulations to Evaluate Damages Arguments,” 101 Iowa L. Rev. [forthcoming January 2016]). The full article also can be accessed at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2470066. The condensed version that appears here omits a number of references to previous studies, contains less description of methodology and eliminates much of the statistical detail.

Can a legal outcomes because rational litigants negotiate in their defendant attack the plaintiff ’s high demand and thereby shadow. Indeed, any trial attorney will tell you he or she undermine the plaintiff ’s credibility? Alternatively, should spends inordinate amounts of time trying to divine what defendants provide a lower damages number to the jury? jurors will do. Such a “counter-anchor” could wash out the plaintiff ’s Scholarship Featured anchoring effect, but some attorneys worry juries will 36 However, a great deal of what we think we know about juries interpret such a response as a concession of liability.
