Dr. Jennifer Brown, PhD
Dr. Jennifer Brown is a forensic psychologist who evaluates decision-making under pressure and the reliability of memory in high-stakes contexts. She has conducted hundreds of court-ordered assessments and provides expert testimony on competency, risk, and suggestibility. Her approach balances careful psychometrics with an interview style that is calm, respectful, and precise.
Before specializing, she worked in community mental health where she designed a brief screening pathway that reduced wait times for crisis evaluations. That experience informs her belief that justice and access begin with sound triage, clear documentation, and cultural humility. She mentors early-career clinicians on report writing that is both evidence based and readable.
Her current research examines how stress physiology interacts with eyewitness recall, with a focus on practical safeguards that reduce error. She partners with public defenders and prosecutors to offer training on question design, interpreter use, and trauma-aware interviewing. When she is not in court or clinic, you will find her annotating case law articles with color-coded tabs.
