The “Csi Effect”: Better Jurors Through Television And Science?, Michael Mann
The “Csi Effect”: Better Jurors Through Television And Science?, Michael Mann
Michael D. Mann
This Comment explores how television shows such as CSI and Law & Order have created heightened juror expectations in courtrooms across America. Surprise acquitals often have prosectors scratching their heads as jurors hold them to this new "Hollywood" standard. The Comment also analyzes the CSI phenomena by reflecting on past legal television shows that have influenced the public's perception of the legal profession and how the "CSI effect" has placed an even greater burden on parties to proffer some kind of forensic evidence at trial.
The Comment was published in volume 24 of the Buffalo Public Interest Law Journal (2006).

Loving (2006) Inspired by the 1967 Supreme Court Case, Loving v. Virginia, that overturned this nation’s last anti-miscegenation law, Kina examines issues of color in black and white. Kina drew life-size charcoal portraits of ten “Bi-Racial Baby Boomers” as representative of the larger mixed race community and movement in the United States.
