Lawyers are being faced with a
new kind of juror, a juror who comes to the courtroom with ideas on the case at
hand due to the internet and social media. More importantly, attorneys
are having to deal with jurors who can’t resist the urge to share the information
they have been made privy to and even asking their friends on Facebook and
through blogs how they should vote. Jurors are also researching via the
internet the legal concepts and questions being presented to them in the jury
box. This program discusses theses problems and what is being done to
prevent jurors from surfing the web and Tweeting or Facebooking their friends
and colleagues about the case on which they are serving as a juror. This
program also discusses what attorneys are doing to find out more about
prospective jurors through the internet and social media. This program is
a must see!
