Increasingly in America s courtrooms lawyers, litigants, and expert witnesses attempt to recreate what it s like to be inside the litigant s mind. But is it really possible to claim this perception as evidence? Is seeing really believing? Can anyone really know what it s like to have another person s perceptual experiences, when only that person has direct access to them? And why should courts ever admit visual or auditory evidence that purports to convey what another person s consciousness is like? How might these simulations affect the ways that judges and jurors do justice? Experiencing Other Minds thoughtful explores this evidentiary and cognitive terrain. Whether a simulation actually provides reliable knowledge about the other person s inner experience, depends on the strength of our grounds for believing in it. And that depends largely on how the simulation was made. Primarily a descriptive and analytic work, Experiencing Other Minds conducts a legal anthropological inquiry into a novel and distinctive evidentiary practice, situating each example of digitally simulated subjective perception in its case context and drawing on cognitive psychology, media studies, science and technology studies, and other disciplines to understand how each simulation produces specific epistemological and rhetorical effects. By paying closer attention to the different kinds of simulation and the different knowledge claims they offer, we can develop best practices for responsibly incorporating such evidence in the courtroom, and thereby improve the quality of justice as well.

Law and the Modern Mind first appeared in 1930 when, in the words of Judge Charles E. Clark, it "fell like a bomb on the legal world." In the generations since, its influence has grown-today it is accepted as a classic of general jurisprudence.The work is a bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that the law is a bastion of predictable and logical action. Jerome Frank's controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these decision-makers bring to the courtroom.

Law and the Modern Mind first appeared in 1930 when, in the words of Judge Charles E. Clark, it "fell like a bomb on the legal world." In the generations since, its influence has grown--today it is accepted as a classic of general jurisprudence. The work is a bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that the law is a bastion of predictable and logical action. Jerome Frank's controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these decision-makers bring to the courtroom. Frank points out that legal verdicts are supposed to result from the application of legal rules to the facts of the suit--a procedure that sounds utterly methodical. Frank argues, that profound, immeasurable biases strongly influence the judge and jury's reaction to witnesses, lawyers, and litigants. As a result, we can never know what they will believe "the facts of the suit" to be. The trial's results become unforeseeable, the lawyer's advice unreliable, and the cause of justice insecure. This edition includes the author's final preface in which he answers two decades of criticism of his position.

While Justice pursues justice through the legal system and struggles to subdue a demon that has plagued her for years, she stumbles unto a plot so diabolical that she knows she must survive the threat on her own life in order to thwart the heinous plan. Justice, a new public defender fresh out of law school, is assigned to Courtroom D at a time when defense attorneys have all but given up hope of winning a trial or motion in that courtroom. Right away, she begins winning all of her trials and motions. No one in the legal system knows why-except the judge. The judge, along with several other outstanding citizens of Winston, desperately wants her to go away. After three unsuccessful attempts on her life, the perpetrator resorts to kidnapping in an attempt to insure her elimination from Courtroom D. When Alou and a friend go looking for Justice, they bump into a couple of uniformed policemen who, they fear, area part of a sinister plot to get rid of her. Justice finally faces the fact that she has two critical tasks: survival and thwarting the evil plot of the perpetrator. Will she have to choose between the two?

This new reference work highlights the myths, misunderstandings, and pseudo-scientific theories concerning human factors in the courtroom and related situations. Using traffic accident cases and driving behaviors as examples, the purpose of the book is to contrast these myths and theories with the large body of solid scientific research to show how many widely accepted beliefs are flawed and invalid in spite of their widespread admissibility in our nation's courtrooms. In the first three chapters, you will learn about the “junk science” that is so prevalent in our court system. These chapters include descriptions of what is admissible “scientific evidence” and what it is not, subjectivity and bias, the influence of inaccurate preconceived ideas such as the questionable concept of the “average or reasonably prudent person”, misuse and misunderstanding of psychology and psychiatry, and other deeply flawed efforts to “read the mind.” As you study these chapters, you will come to realize that it is quite impossible to know or predict what someone was thinking, is thinking, or will be thinking despite the promises made by many practitioners of what are clearly pseudosciences. You will learn about electronic (e.g., polygraphs, MRIs) and human (e.g., psychotherapists, criminal profilers, psychics, hypnotists) efforts to “read the mind” and examine the solid scientific evidence that indicates the flaws and poor or non-existent validity of most of them. You will learn how stereotypes, preconceptions, and prejudice affect procedures such as lineups and eyewitness testimony often resulting in serious errors in administered justice. You will also learn how fallible are our memories and how internal and external influences such as length of time since occurrence, change in personal value system or ideology, and the possibility of false memories, affect everyone involved in court cases.The next three chapters concentrate on the factors that influence an individual's driving performance. You will discover which ones (e.g., the ubiquitous “perception–reaction time” – the PRT) are scientifically measurable and which ones are not, how research is designed to avoid bias and subjectivity, and how to evaluate experiments and studies for validity. You will study the best modern laboratory research and learn about its strengths and limitations. Topics covered in these chapters include direct and indirect influences on our cognitive powers, motor skills, and sensory and perceptual abilities as they influence driving behaviors, including alcohol, drugs, fatigue, age, and environmental distractions such as the use of cellular telephones.The final chapter summarizes the previous research and demonstrates the need for a critical consideration of the pseudoscience contaminating much of our judicial proceedings. It also shows the need for a greater understanding of science and the scientific method on the part of lawyers and judges. It suggests how this might be implemented and gives suggestions for changes to our current court system including the creation of a Daubert Tribunal to evaluate the quality of scientific evidence. This book should encourage the reader to constantly revaluate the scientific quality of evidence and to delve deeper into the extensive list of the high quality research cited throughout this book.Several appendices describe the limits of light measurements and photography in forensic evaluations of automobile accidents as well as the availability of supplementary information such as advisory manuals.
