First Published in 1988. More than 3 million Americans are called for jury duty every year. For most people, serving on a jury arouses two feelings: it is both a personal sacrifice and an exciting experience. And where a jury is asked to decide some cases, they make headlines. As a result of trials such as these, the American system of trial by jury faces unprecedented challenges. This volume offers an informed examination of the entire process, from jury selection to the delivery of a verdict. Quoting the experiences and expertise of F. Lee Bailey, William Kunstler, Clarence Darrow, Learned Hand, and many others, ttis book investigates such important factors as pretrial bias, the psychology of evidence, inadmissible testimony, interpreting the law, and what goes on inside the jury room. People often think that any book dealing with the law must be written in 'legalese' but in in this book, Professors Kassin and Wrightsman present their case in an exceptionally readable style. They utilize modern advances in psychology to illuminate the usually hidden world of trial practice and procedure and offer thoughtful possibilities for improving the system.

Saul M. Kassin is Associate Professor of Psychology at Wiliams College, Wllimstown, Massachusetts. Lawrence S. Wrightsman is Professor of Psychology at the University of Kansas at Lawrence and has served as chairman of the department.
