    Abstract

    While a number of researchers have focused on the role of experience as a determinant of decision effectiveness among professionals, there is a paucity of research examining how the nature of this relationship may vary with regard to different types of decision tasks (i.e., static versus dynamic). Based on an inductive study of professional trial lawyers, the findings reported here demonstrate that dynamic decision-making effectiveness increases through experience, in part due to an increase in mindfulness. At the same time, static decision-making effectiveness may become compromised at high levels of experience due to several phenomena revealed in this study.
