Additionally, faculty will explore the ways that implicit bias can affect juror decision-making.
Who should attend?
Priority will be given to full-time, sitting judges who preside over jury trials currently. All levels of experience welcome.
How is this course taught?
The course is a mix of classroom presentation, interactive dialogue, workshops, and small-group discussions. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of their particular trial problems for discussion with the faculty and with colleagues from other states.
Does this course qualify for credits in the Judicial Studies degree program?
