ABSTRACT

The Justice Syndicate (TJS) is an interactive performance, featuring an audience who become jurors considering a difficult case. Via iPads, participants receive evidence, witness testimonies and prompts to vote and discuss the case. We compare TJS to other theatre performances in which audiences are juries, arguing it is unique in only having twelve audience members, with no additional spectators. We compare TJS to experiments researching jury decision-making. In its novel use of technology, it offers a scalable method to research group decision-making in jury-style settings, or to give legal practitioners and prospective jurors an experience of the psychological factors affecting jury deliberation. We discuss how different juries can be presented with identical evidence and come to opposing verdicts. We argue that these wildly different outcomes are linked to how the participants – individually and as a group – resolve the tension between what is legal and what is just.

司法辛迪加:互动剧院如何为陪审团决策和公众对法律的理解提供一个窗口

摘要

正义集团(TJS)是一种互动表演,观众将成为考虑困难案件的陪审员。通过iPad,参与者可以收到证据,见证和见证,并可以投票和讨论此案。我们将TJS与其他由观众陪审的剧院表演进行比较,认为它的独特之处在于只有十二名观众,没有其他观众。我们将TJS与研究陪审团决策的实验进行比较。在其新颖的技术运用中,它提供了一种可扩展的方法,可以在陪审团形式的环境中研究小组的决策,或者为法律从业者和准陪审员提供影响陪审团审议的心理因素的经验。我们讨论了如何以相同的证据提出不同的陪审团并得出相反的结论。
