The Minnesota Public Defenders are putting on a jury selection workshop for our attorneys and we are looking for volunteers to be mock jurors for a jury selection exercise on the morning of Thursday, August 8th, from 8am until 12:15pm in person at the DoubleTree hotel in downtown St. Paul. The volunteers do not need to do any preparation beforehand. The MN Board of Public Defense will provide parking validation for them to park at the Town Square Parking Ramp and afterwards the mock jurors will be invited stay to have lunch with the attorneys and faculty from the Public Defenders. This is a good chance to follow up with the attorneys about why they did certain things they did during the questioning. It is also a great opportunity to network with the managing attorneys and chief public defenders from across the state.
