Abstract
The present invention relates in general to the field of jury science conducted over a data processing network and in particular to using the Internet to apply a multi-discipline methodology and system to understand legal issues and the judicial process, consideration of those issues, to the understanding of how and why jurors and judges make decisions, and to understanding how, by including the understanding of the impact of this process, justice may be achieved. By applying jury science to the Internet for the first time, this methodology may be applied in a cost affective manner, free from logistical constraints.
