At last! Holding the first copies of my new book, The Imagined Juror. It shows that fed prosecutors need jurors to do their jobs, and so even with few trials, they spend a lot of time, well, inventing and thinking with them–with interesting implications. https://t.co/eUybPXuHBe

Professor @AnnaOffit's article, "Reimagining the Inclusive Jury," was published in the @UCDavisLRev.

The article argues that some of the trial modifications that emerged during the pandemic should not disappear with decreasing infection numbers.

I somehow missed this Medium article by @EvaNatiello about my grandfather, Sidney Offit-- now 95, and still a favorite teacher and cheerleader 🙌 https://t.co/Z5tpDOjeSy

This story will fly under the radar. It shouldn't.

Houston tried to prosecute a woman for helping the homeless. And the state couldn't even impanel a jury, because the bulk of potential jurors saw the case for the insanity that it is.

This is why jury trials are essential:
