The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This paper explores recent developments on judicial directions and juror use of the internet and argues that, at the same time as it has become increasingly difficult to control the evidence a jury sees, the courts have developed strategies for more closely regulating jurors' thoughts. Looking at these developments through the lens of Devlin's classic theory of jury trial, it asks whether the possibility of jury nullification might be undermined by a denial of the jury's power to respond to the case differently from the professionals involved in administering the trial.
