Jury 2.0, Caren Morrison Dec 2015

Jury 2.0, Caren Morrison

Caren Myers Morrison

When the Framers drafted the Sixth Amendment and provided that the accused in a criminal case would have the right to a speedy and public trial by an “impartial jury,” it is unlikely that they imagined the members of that impartial jury becoming Facebook friends during deliberations, or Googling the defendant’s name during trial. But in the past few years, such cases have increasingly been making headlines.

Dr. Panopticon, Or How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love The Drone, Caren Morrison Nov 2015

Dr. Panopticon, Or How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love The Drone, Caren Morrison

Caren Myers Morrison

Caren Myers Morrison

This essay proceeds in three parts. First, it examines the current state of jury investigations, and how they differ from those conducted in the past.

Instead, I propose a modest measure to provide notice and explanation to jurors that their online information is likely to be searched, and why.
