Pilot jury study: What jurors search for & what they don’t get – Juror comprehension & obedience to judicial directions against juror investigation

This was a 2010 project funded by a grant from the Law and Justice Foundation of NSW.

This report outlines a pilot study which explored the impact upon jurors’ deliberations of evidence of a defendant’s criminal history and jurors’ reactions to the obligation that they refrain from undertaking any extra-curial investigation or research.
