Do you like watching ‘Law and Order’ or other legal TV shows or films?
Can you read and understand English?
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to serve on a jury?
Would you like to be involved in a research study as a jury member?
IF YOU SAID ‘YES’ TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS, THEN PLEASE CONSIDER PARTICIPATING IN A NEW AND INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROJECT*.
Jemina Napier (Linguistics) and David Spencer (Law) of Macquarie University are conducting a study to investigate deaf jurors’ access to court proceedings via sign language interpreting, with the assistance of research assistant Joe Sabolcec. The aim of the project is to compare deaf jurors’ comprehension of a judge’s summation through interpreting with non-deaf jurors’ understanding by listening.
This project will lead to recommendations as to whether deaf people can serve as jurors in NSW.
If you are interested in serving as a jury member in this research project please contact Joe Sabolcec by Monday 10th April 2006 (email: joe.sabolcec@bigpond.com) for more details.
Your involvement will involve approximately two hours on campus, and you will receive a $25 gift card for your time and trouble.
We look forward to hearing from you.
*If you are a law student or have any knowledge of sign language or deafness you cannot be involved in the project.
