Join us on February 2, 2022, for a FREE webinar, “Roadmap to a Representative Jury.”

Minnesota, like jurisdictions across the country, has struggled with the persistent underrepresentation of certain racial and ethnic minorities in its jury pools.  In this comprehensive fair cross-section training, we will cover some of the factors that contribute to those racial and ethnic disparities, why diverse juries matter, how the fair cross-section requirement differs from equal protection, as well as some model practices for improving jury diversity.

The training will be conducted by CUNY School of Law Professor Nina Chernoff and she will be joined by the County Attorney for Ramsey County John Choi, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Danielle Viola, and Wayne County Executive Court Administrator Zenell Brown.

Made available by a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance and in partnership with the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys (APA), National Center for State Courts (NCSC), National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), and Research Triangle Institute International (RTI), this webinar is FREE and open to all, but registration is required.
