On this episode we hear from Professor Fiona Leverick (Professor of Criminal Law) and Regius Professor of Law James Chalmers about the recently published findings of their Scottish Jury Research Project.

Commissioned by the Scottish Government, the research was undertaken jointly with Professor Vanessa Munro from the University of Warwick and led by Ipsos MORI.

As the biggest mock jury project in the UK to date, the research sought to determine what effects certain unique features of the Scottish judicial system may – or may not – have on the process of jury decision-making.
