Abstract

This paper examines a computer-aided evaluation of racial representation in jury selection. The main thrust of the paper is to present a technical comparison of two methods of selecting jury panels utilizing both spatial analyses and covariance structural modelings (LISREL). The computer-aided geographic analysis of racial representation in jury selection is further illustrated by the use of both spatial display of racially segregated residential patterns and inferential statistical methods in substantiating disproportionate racial representation in jury panels.

Keywords: GIS, jury selection, racial representation, jury trial, LISREL, Covariance Structural Analysis
