The Multnomah County, Oregon, Jury Project was conducted as
part of the Modeling Jury Decision Project funded by the National
Science Foundation. These data represent a census of 32 jury panels
that served from July 1973 through March 1976 in the Fourth Circuit
Court in Multnomah County (Portland), Oregon. Information was obtained
for both six-member and twelve-member juries. Data were collected from
official court records, monthly juror panel summaries, and
self-administered juror demographic data sheets. Information collected
includes members of the jury, their votes, the final verdict, the type
of case, the name of the judge, and the amount of time taken by the
jury to arrive at a decision, as well as each juror's age, occupation,
years of residence in Oregon, educational background, family
information, and information on past juries and trials they were
involved in. The data include both individual-level juror and
aggregate jury case data, with information on 6,657 jurors and 1,159
trials.
