Behind Closed Doors
Welcome to Behind Closed Doors, a podcast brought to you by the Fully Informed Jury Association. This program is made possible the generous support of friends of FIJA like you!
See our episodes here.
In this podcast, we take you behind closed doors of the American criminal legal system to explore its inner workings and why it so often fails to fulfill its purpose of protecting individual rights and liberty. Focusing on the American jury system, we'll how it interacts with and is affected by other parts of the criminal legal system, and how our critical right to trial by jury has been driven to the brink of extinction.
If you have questions you would like us to answer about juries and jury nullification or would like to suggest topics or guests for the show, please email us at bhc@fija.org.
