Does the Jury System Work?
Moderated by Joe Plotkin

Many of us anticipate dreading jury duty, but when we actually serve on a jury to verdict, it can be a very different experience. Let's come together to discuss the experience of being on a jury. What does it feel like to have this kind of responsibility? What surprised you about the experience? Come share your feelings with a veteran criminal trial attorney, and maybe next time we get the envelope with the official seal on it, we might feel differently.
