Judge Nonverbal Communication on Trial: Do Mock Trial Jurors Notice?

Ann Burnett and Diane M. Badzinski
Journal of Communication 55(2), June 2005

This study investigated jurors' reactions to judges' nonverbal communication in mock trials. [...] The investigation found that jurors are aware of nonverbal cues from judges, particularly negative behaviors. [...] Overall, jurors are most aware of a judge's lack of involvement and apparent bias. Discussion focuses on ways to minimize the influence of judge nonverbal communication on jurors.
