Dr. SunWolf was Training Director for Colorado’s Public Defender Office when she left to get her Master’s and Ph.D. at the University of California, studying juries. Two decades of trial work as a criminal defense attorney included a three-year stint in the appellate division. Now a professor studying social behavior, her research has won numerous national awards, including her book, “Practical Jury Dynamics2: From One Juror’s Trial Perception to the Group’s Decision-Making Processes,” translating academic concepts of perception and persuasion into practical trial tools. She published a new theory (Decisional Regret Theory), which explains how deliberating jurors use counterfactual thinking to avoid anxiety about unwanted verdict outcomes. She compiled the neuroscience research on religious beliefs in her book: “God-Thinking: Every Juror’s Moral Brain” (LexisNexis). As a trial attorney, she has survived angry judges, misguided prosecutors, strange juries, and the most creative of clients.
