JURY SURVEYS ARE THOSE SURVEYS CONDUCTED PRIOR TO THE TRIALS OF PERSONS WHO LIVE IN THE JURISDICTIONS FROM WHICH JURORS ARE TO BE DRAWN. WITH THE AID OF A COMPUTER THE ATTITUDINAL RESPONSES INDICATED IN THE SURVEY ARE CORRELATED WITH DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS IN ORDER TO FIND OUT HOW PERSONS WITH CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS VIEW IMPORTANT TRIAL ISSUES. BY RATING EACH SIGNIFICANT DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLE OF POTENTIAL JURORS DURING THE VOIR DIRE (PERIOD DURING WHICH ATTORNEYS OR JUDGES QUESTION POTENTIAL JURORS TO DETERMINE ANY BIAS), A DETERMINATION CAN BE MADE OF WHETHER A GIVEN PERSON IS LIKELY TO REACT FAVORABLY OR UNFAVORABLY TO A GIVEN DEFENDANT. THIS DETERMINATION CAN BE MADE WITHOUT ASKING QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT BE DISALLOWED BY THE TRIAL JUDGE. THUS, JURY SURVEYS BECOME A MEANS FOR CIRCUMVENTING THE RESTRICTIONS OF VOIR DIRE. THERE IS A 70 PERCENT CERTAINTY THAT SOCIETAL SCIENTISTS CAN CIRCUMVENT THE RESTRICTIONS OF VOIR DIRE WITH ANY GIVEN JUROR. IT IS UP TO THE COURTS TO DECIDE WHETHER TO RECOGNIZE JURY SURVEYS AS ACCURATE INDICATORS OF A JUROR'S STATE OF MIND AND HOW THE VOIR DIRE SYSTEM CAN FUNCTIONALLY COEXIST WITH JURY SURVEYS. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS INCLUDE: A FURTHER CURTAILMENT OF VOIR DIRE TO PREVENT EVEN A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE A POTENTIAL JUROR'S ATTITUDES IN DETAIL; REQUIREMENT THAT A GIVEN SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE BE CLEARED WITH THE TRIAL JUDGE; OR A COMPLETE PROHIBITION OF JURY SURVEYS.
