There is little doubt that the age of digital technology has arrived. From using CD ROM software in the classroom to researching on the internet, selecting and using authorware to craft assignments, to teaching non linear editing of audio and video at the desktop, mass communication and academic units are coming to grips with the emerging technologies.

The authors' empirical research project considers the effects of differences in actual legal rules on jury decisions and, concurrently, gives business students the opportunity to participate in a realistic jury experience. The project uses actual trial evidence to produce a videotaped simulated trial presentation thereby insuring that the testimony, legal arguments, jury instructions and facts are realistic.

Few teachers feel that they have either the intellectual or professional grasp …
