SB 592 passed the CA state senate today and is headed to the governor for signing. The bill expands jury source lists to include those who file tax returns. This expansion will lead to more diverse jury pools. #juryduty #jurors

Experts are confident that the civil unrest gripping the nation over racial tensions will refuel the push to make juries more diverse, a problem that has vexed the legal industry long before the killings of George Floyd and others by white police officers. https://t.co/j3BO8ueGVQ

Check out this excellent video series, "Skill All the Lawyers," for tips on Zoom and video conference calls, created by colleagues Katherine James and Alan Blumenfeld. @actlaw https://t.co/B4dPjSByry

Maybe its just Texas, but nice to know jurors somewhere are showing up for jury duty at the same rate as before the pandemic. #Jurors #Juryduty #Coronavirus #Covid19 https://t.co/abXkWr2WLk

Not surprising that Democrats trust scientists more than Republicans. But the gap is large. Important area to explore in voir dire if you have scientist experts. #jurors #juryselection

[Axios @axios]

Republicans twice as likely to not trust scientists as Democrats

Judge Miskel said on @StateCourts webinar that the jurors enjoyed their experience and those with prior jury service said it was easier to see the exhibits and the witnesses. #onlinejurytrial #virtualjurytrial #jurors https://t.co/FsZ80ozTy3

Plexiglass barriers are in use in criminal court in San Jose including at counsel table. It may be a necessary health precaution but raises questions about how physical barriers and distancing affect a juror's experience and jury dynamics. #Jurors #Courts #Covid19 #Coronavirus

Trials around the country have been suspended or postponed due to Covid-19. But a federal criminal trial in SF resumes with social distancing measures in place. A look into the future for jury trials. https://t.co/dexPWz5si7

We will see more postponements as the virus spreads. Last week I saw fewer jurors reporting for jury duty and jurors who did concerned about how courts are going to handle the coming health crisis. #juryselection #COVID19 https://t.co/glweIZf4an
