A method for reducing hypothetical bias in jury studies. The method utilizes an incentive-based approach to jury studies to help to reduce and/or remove hypothetical bias from these jury studies. The present invention uses an incentive that is to be awarded to an independent third person. This incentive is structured such that the closer the jury's decision comes to the correct result, the greater the amount of the incentive that is to be given to the independent third person. This structure is explained to the jury participating in the jury study such that the jury will desire to increase the amount of the incentive given to the independent third person. Accordingly, some of the previous issues of hypothetical bias, such as laziness, lack of attention to the evidence, and/or personal bias, are reduced or eliminated.
