Popis:	The ability of jurors and juries to comprehend and utilise scientific evidence in Australian criminal trials is discussed in the context of impediments which include legislation, proce-dural law, and the inherent scientific complexity of some evidence. Existing Australian and international literature on jury performance with expert evidence is examined, and recent doctoral research utilising mock juries, real jurors and forensic scientists, is highlighted. “Good communication with the jury is afield in which anecdote, self-assurance and self-delusion abound, within the ranks of the legal profession and the judiciary.”
