Abstract
To ascertain the effect that prior jury service had on beliefs and over-ail attitude towards service, 166 randomly selected registered voters who had been summoned for jury service were administered questionnaires on the first day of their service. Multiple regression analyses were used to examine interrelationships between juror beliefs concerning service and over-all attitudes for both those who had and those who had not served previously. Results indicate that those with previous service differed significantly in their perceptions of service from those without prior service. The need for court administrators to develop alternative strategies for both groups is demonstrated.
