The role of behavioral research in the “free press-fair trial” controversy is reexamined in light of the recent article by Carroll, Kerr, Alfini, Weaver, MacCoun, and Feldman (1986). It is concluded that while further research is needed, as suggested by Carroll et al., behavioral research on the impact of pretrial publicity and judicial remedies already offers some useful guidance for the judicial system. In addition, a guideline is proposed for deciding if the empirical literature on a given issue is sufficiently strong to employ in legal decision making.
