LOCAL AND GENERAL
… amongst … jurymen who have to hang about the precincts of the Supreme Courthouse … a story … caused some merriment… [a] juryman [was] told … it was usually the custom now to challenge a man with a beard, bc enough of his face could not be seen to judge sufficiently of his character.… [a juror shaved off] his beard … was allowed without objection to take his seat!…

Did the #Durham report’s criticism of juries go too far?

#Juries acquitted two #defendants of false-statements charges, but the special counsel downplayed their findings in favor of his own. Some #ethics experts said this crossed a line.

There are often different #opinions between #judges and #juries in trademark cases about how similar the brands in question actually are, leading to large inconsistencies in the application of the #law.

#Justice may be blind, but #judges and #juries must be clear-sighted. We may consider the concept of evidentiary standards as it arises in several overlapping areas of Talmudic and secular law:
How can we assess the truth of testimony?
Does every criminal confession pass muster, or are some inadmissible?
When can informants be considered credible?

Just published a paper in LSR on #collateralconsequences, #juries, and the #carceralstate. Interviews with 103 court officials reveal that being perceived as an offender or victim of crime (or proximate to one) is a common basis for jury exclusion. We argue that such exclusion is a collateral consequence of mass criminalization, with racialized and gendered effects that maintain law's inequality.
