A focus group brings together a small group of participants to discuss a specific topic, and is led by a trained moderator. A typical focus group is comprised of approximately ten participants and is conducted over a 2-hour time period. Participants are guided through a spontaneous and interactive discussion that reveals insights, ideas and attitudes/opinions about a certain issue or product. Participants are selected based on specific criteria suitable to the research needs of the client. Our moderator's probing questions explore the feelings underlying consumer attitudes, interests and opinions.

Successful litigation begins by anticipating the attitudes, thoughts and judgments of jurors not yet selected. This is the objective of any project that aims to assist attorneys with their cases. Research & Polling provides services to help eliminate the guess work in litigation and get reliable answers to your toughest questions before going to trial.

From its inception, Research & Polling has fulfilled a role of serving the legal industry with a broad range of research support services.

Redistricting is a term commonly used for two types of boundary adjustments. The first, and one which normally happens every ten years, is the redrawing of district boundaries for elected offices. These boundaries determine the areas elected officials represent, whether they are Congressional representatives, state legislators, county officials, or city councilors, to name a few.

The second type of redistricting refers to adjusting school attendance boundaries. This process determines the school a student will attend based on his/her residential location.
