As a supporter of the Fully Informed Jury Association, you probably already have an idea of what jury nullification is. But that's not enough! How do you use it in the real world? That can be a bit tricky, so you need to be prepared.
This webinar is designed specifically to cover the nuts and bolts of jury nullification in practice. We'll start with a short overview of the basics of jury nullification to get everyone, including newbies, on the same page. Then we'll spend most of the webinar with a stellar panel of 3 criminal trial attorneys experienced in jury trials discussing the major hurdles that impede fully informed jurors from exercising their right of jury nullification such as:
• not knowing how to get on a jury once you know about jury nullification,
• concerns about whether or not you can be prosecuted for exercising jury nullification,
• filling out juror questionnaires and answering questions during in-person jury selection,
• dealing with various oaths you may be told to swear or affirm,
• whether or not to discuss jury nullification during deliberations,
• and more!
Our panel of experts will include jury nullification-friendly criminal defense attorneys Thomas Gallagher, Catherine Bernard, and Clay Conrad, who literally wrote the book (Jury Nullification: The Evolution of a Doctrine) on jury nullification! These folks all work on criminal jury trials and can answer these questions based on their real life courtroom experience.
This webinar is suitable both for folks just learning about jury nullification and people such as yourself who are already familiar with it. The goal is to get everyone prepped and ready to go when that jury summons shows up in the mail. So I'm asking you to do two things:
