Legal Blame: How Jurors Think and Talk about Accidents

Legal Blame sheds new light on how jurors interpret justice in the wake of accidents. It also reveals much about the psychology of jury decision making in general. Using case material, the author analyzes both the words lawyers use to help jurors assign blame and the words jurors themselves use as they make decisions. With minimal use of jargon, the author discusses the relevant social and cognitive literature and shows how jurors' everyday habits of thought and feeling inform their deliberations. Neal Feigenson's thesis is that jurors use legal facts and rules, in combination with common sense, to process what he calls total justice. Contrary to stereotypes about jurors, both emotion and reason appear to be central in reaching a decision that feels right to the jury. This description may be from another edition of this product.
