What is Litigation Research?
Litigation research is the process of gathering accurate, reliable, and defensible data to support legal cases. Because this information often serves as key evidence in court, it is critical that the company conducting the research has deep expertise in the litigation process. Building a strong case requires thorough data collection and analysis — which is why partnering with a qualified litigation research firm is essential.
Types of Litigation Research
At California Survey Research Services, Inc. (CSRS), we offer two primary types of litigation research: Exploratory Research and Confirmatory Research, both grounded in our expertise with consumer litigation surveys and other legal studies.
Exploratory Litigation Research:
Exploratory research is a critical first step when evaluating a potential legal matter. This type of research helps you better understand the issues, assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and determine the most effective strategy. If you are unsure how to approach your case or what kind of information you need, CSRS can guide you through the process. Our experienced team provides comprehensive litigation support at every stage.
Confirmatory Research:
Confirmatory research, sometimes called hypothesis-testing research, is designed to test specific theories or assumptions related to a case. While confirmatory research seeks to validate a hypothesis, it can also uncover disconfirming evidence when appropriate. This method requires carefully designed surveys and experiments, as well as precise data analysis to ensure valid conclusions. CSRS’s expertise in research design, statistical techniques, and data interpretation ensures that your confirmatory research is both credible and defensible in court.
Accurate and Defensible Legal Research Data
Law firms and legal teams often require accurate and reliable research to support their litigation strategies. While some firms attempt to conduct this research in-house, using a professional litigation research firm like CSRS ensures higher accuracy, faster results, and data that will stand up to scrutiny.
With so many companies offering litigation research, choosing the right partner can be challenging — especially when your case hinges on the integrity of that data. At CSRS, we understand how critical well-executed research is for litigation success.
Whether you need exploratory insights to shape your case strategy or confirmatory data to support evidence, CSRS delivers research that is precise, methodologically sound, and defensible.
