    In the year 2000, office workers in the U.S. exchanged approximately 7 trillion e-mail messages, according to an article in Wired magazine. Just about everyone uses e-mail now – from humble cubicles to executive suites, from commuters in rush-hour traffic to business travelers 35,000 feet in the air, and in every corner of the marketplace. And they’re all slowly waking up to the realization that nothing they say in their e-mail is private, anything they say in their e-mail is potentially admissible as evidence, and deleting their e-mail won’t necessarily destroy it.

  • Jury Think (pdf)
    Samuel H. Solomon - May 2003

In this paper, we will examine the tendency of jurors to subordinate their own -- presumably unique -- opinions as they work toward a unanimous verdict. In short, individuals serving on juries become susceptible to a form of group influence we have coined JuryThink™. Without an understanding of JuryThink, litigating attorneys are rolling the dice against powerful forces they may be unprepared to control. The good news is that jury research, if done with methodological rigor, can uncover how JuryThink operates in particular cases.
