In 2015, in a post-Ferguson project, Warren conducted exit interviews of 753 people exiting affluent and non-affluent municipal courts in Saint Louis County to find out whether poor, mostly blacks were treated more unfairly than whites. Blacks did express more negative views about how they were treated by municipal courts than whites, although both blacks and whites felt they were treated better by municipal courts located in the affluent communities than the non-affluent communities to a statistically significant extent. Warren has served as an expert witness in over twenty court cases, testifying in Voting Rights Act, redistricting, forum non conveniens, jury challenges, and change of venue cases. Dr. Kenneth F.
