Abstract

The authors examined perceptions of attorney's credibility and case verdict as a function of attorney's gender. Results indicated that (1) women rated the female attorney as less intelligent, less friendly, less pleasant, less capable, less expert, and less experienced than the male attorney, and (2) mock jurors demonstrated a preference for retaining a male attorney rather than a female attorney as their own personal counsel.
