Hans Zeisel (1905-1992) was a scholar of law and social science at the University of Chicago Law School. He was an expert on juries, capital punishment, and political and market survey techniques. He served on the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School from 1953 until 1974. There, as one of the leaders of the well-known Jury Project, Zeisel strove to apply social research methodology to the field of law. This collection includes a small amount of personal ephemera and teaching materials, but is primarily comprised of correspondence; materials from his work as a litigation consultant; research files concerning law, social science, and a variety of other topics; materials related to the Jury Project and other studies he undertook; his own writings and writings by others; and audio and visual recordings. Materials date between 1925 and 1992, with the bulk dating between 1950 and 1992. The papers document the wide variety of Zeisel's academic interests and his scholarly and professional efforts to improve the administration of justice.
