Joshua Dubin

He currently serves as lead counsel to James Dailey, an innocent man that has spent more than 33 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. He was framed by the most prolific jail house snitch in US history. The Dailey case has been the subject of intense national media attention – and was recently featured by award winning journalist Pamela Colloff in a piece entitled “False Witness” for Pro Publica and NY Times. “False Witness” received a National Magazine Award for Reporting in 2020. The story was also recognized with the Hillman Prize, the IRE Award, the Taylor Family Award for Fairness in Journalism, and the MOLLY National Journalism Prize. 

Josh is also the president 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. Over the two decades, Josh has assisted with jury selection, persuasive visual aids, witness preparation, and trial strategy on a wide range of high-profile civil 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.”
