Dr. Brooke Butler
received her Ph.D. in
legal psychology from
Florida
International
University.
Her research is
highly applied, policy-oriented, and concerns the social psychological
factors that jeopardize defendants' right to due process.
Dr. Butler
has published articles in the American Journal of Forensic Psychology,
Behavioral Sciences and the Law, the Journal of Applied Social
Psychology, Law and Human Behavior, Psychology, Crime,
and Law, and The Jury Expert. Her research has been cited by CNN, Court TV,
The Economist, Inter Press Service News Agency, The New York
Times, and U.S. News & World Report,
as well as various state and
local media outlets.
Dr. Butler has conducted
psycholegal research for numerous high-profile criminal and civil cases, but
currently devotes her litigation
consulting practice to capital defense work. Most notably, she has provided expert testimony regarding the
detrimental effects of death
qualification in FL v. Davis, FL v.
Henderson, FL. v. King, FL v. Lugo,
FL v. Murphy, FL v. Ross, FL
v. Smith, and NH v. Brooks.
In what little spare time
an assistant professor has, Dr. Butler enjoys traveling, marathoning, and
spending time with those near and dear. She is in the process of making a
slow (but steady) entry into the 50 States Marathon Club.
