Current literature reviews (Davis, Bray, & Holt, 1977; Elwork & Sales, in press; Gerbasi, Zuckerman, & Reis, 1977) reveal a lively interest in the study of jury functioning. In most of the extant research, simulations in the form of a mock trial have emerged as the primary research vehicle. Despite its popularity, a great deal of criticism has been leveled at this mode of investigation (e.g., Bermant, McGuire, McKinley, & Salo, 1974; Konecni, Mulcahy, & Ebbesen, in press; Colasanto & Sanders, Note 1; Miller, Fontes, Boster, & Sunnafrank, Note 2). While such criticism deserves thoughtful consideration, there also seems to be a need for an analysis that clearly examines variations in mock-trial simulations and their relative strengths and weaknesses.
