Download RebuttalPR Insights: Americans’ Views on the Civil Justice System
In our ongoing commitment to helping attorneys stay ahead, RebuttalPR conducted a first-of-its-kind national survey in 2022, which we’ve continued to expand upon every year. Our 2024 poll provides an in-depth look at how potential jurors view the legal system, what they expect from legal counsel, and which issues matter most.
Key 2024 findings include:
38% of respondents definitely or probably would use an AI chatbot when trying to find a lawyer.
22% of respondents said that “too many lawsuits are harming American companies and the economy” is a very large problem, up from 16% in 2023.

In the midst of increasing societal and cultural shifts in our country, Americans’ views on the civil justice system are rapidly changing. At the same time, how we consume news, form opinions about certain industries or groups, and make decisions is evolving as well. These developments ultimately lead to tremendous consequences for how attorneys represent clients, how juries respond to certain allegations and facts, and weigh heavily on the future of practicing law.
In 2022, RebuttalPR undertook this first-of-its-kind national opinion research to take the temperature of the environment in which we and our clients operate. We’ve continued since then — gaining even better understanding, in definitive terms, how the general public (or for attorneys, potential jurors) perceive the courts, how they seek out legal counsel, and what types of cases and fact patterns resonate most with them, particularly through the filter of mainstream media, social media, and their interpersonal networks.
