摘要
Discusses the implications of the Ballew v. Georgia decision for social scientists interested in having their research used by the courts. Obstacles to judicial use of social science research are reviewed, including the timing of judicial decisions, the adversary system, and judicial adherence to precedent. It is recommended that social scientists identify empirical issues in the legal process through legal publications and interest groups; consult with legal experts in carrying out research and in criticizing and summarizing research results; and present their research to the courts by publishing in legal journals, working with parties to appellate cases, filing true amicus curiae briefs, and participating as experts at the trial stage of cases.
