Empirical Evidence and the Death Penalty
The Supreme Court in recent decades has been increasingly receptive to social science evidence in a variety of contexts and appeared poised in the early 1970s to employ such evidence in its consideration of the death penalty. This expectation was not fulfilled, and majorities in most death penalty cases since Gregg v. Georgia (1976) have shown little interest in such evidence. For example, although the Court often cites public sentiment as the ba…
Blindfolding the Jury to Verdict Consequences
This research examines the behavior of jurors as active information processors. Our experimental examination of the performance of the civil jury in response to a complex price-fixing case varies the information provided to jurors about the consequences of their damage award decisions (i.e., the treble damage rule) and the type of expert testimony (statistical models vs. concrete yardstick models). We find, consistent with a picture of the jury a…
Maintaining Allegiance toward Political Authorities
This study examines the impact of experience with the criminal justice system on defendant attitudes toward legal authorities, law, and government. Our focus is on the extent to which particular experiences affect more general attitudes toward the political system in which courts are embedded. We are particularly concerned with assessing the relative impact of prior attitudes and particular features of current experience (e.g., outcome favorabili…
The Tort Remedy in Search and Seizure Cases
Civil suits for damage awards against police officers alleged to have engaged in illegal searches have long been suggested as an alternative to the exclusionary rule as a remedy for police misconduct. A review of empirical literature on the incidence and outcomes of such suits suggests that defendant officers often prevail and that the awards do not seem large enough to produce the punishment and deterrence effect often claimed by proponents of t…

Procedural Justice in Felony Cases
Recent research on the determinants of litigant satisfaction has consistently found that abstract evaluations of the justness of case outcomes and of the fairness of the case disposition process contribute significantly to outcome satisfaction, independent of the favorability of the outcome itself. Most such findings have been produced either in laboratory settings using college student subjects or in survey research involving litigation in which…
Evaluating Criminal Justice Reforms
Research on the implementation of criminal justice reforms, such as sentence guidelines, determinate sentence laws, and no plea bargaining policies, has proliferated in recent years. This research raises a variety of concerns about how one should evaluate the effectiveness of policy innovations. We deal here with recurring issues in the evaluation of criminal justice innovations, including the problem of specifying goals against which to measure …
Does It Pay to Plead Guilty? Differential Sentencing and the Functioning of Criminal Courts
Do defendants who plead guilty receive lighter sentences than those with similar charges and attributes who exercise their right to trial? The assertion that they do has long been at the heart of the literature describing and explaining the plea-bargaining process, though it has been questioned in some important work published recently. The existence of sentence differentials is particularly hard to document statistically, because a successfully …
Reformers V. Abolitionists
The conference papers, the discussion, and other recent work on plea bargaining reveal a shift in the normative perspective of many academics studying this phenomenon. Scholars are becoming more favorable to it. How might one account for such a change, what are the implications of the new arguments, and what does the continuing debate between abolitionists and reformers suggest about directions for future research
Having Their Day in Court
Defendants in criminal cases were asked to evaluate the fairness of the treatment they received. Several correlates of defendant evaluations are discussed, including "predisposing" variables (race, past record, and political alienation) and "case-specific" variables (sentence received, disposition by trial or plea, and a defendant's sense of how his sentence compares with those given to others). All are related to a sense of fair treatment, sente…
The Supreme Court and National Policy Making
The role of the Supreme Court of the United States in national policy making has long been a subject of debate among students of the American legal system and of democratic theory. Both the relative influence of the Court vis-à-vis other political institutions and the implications of judicial review for principles of majority rule and democracy have been central to this discussion. Perhaps the most influential account of the role of the Court off…

Lawyers before the Supreme Court
Lawyers and Loyalty-Security Litigation
As I told you yesterday, I can't figure this out. A criminal lawyer, who is famous for making big fees-maybe he'll make $15, $20, $30 or $40,000-will go in and represent a person on a multiple murder, arson, rape, and four or five other crimes, and the public has some kind of fondness for that. But if some guy will take, if a lawyer will take a case and he says, "I'm going to represent this communist because I think he has a right to express hims…
