X-WR-CALDESC:Join us for this special Magna Carta Day seminar!\n\nMichael H
 uemer is a professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado and autho
 r of the book entitled 'Justice before the Law'\, due to be released this 
 summer. In this book\, Professor Huemer explores the largest injustices in
  the legal system and what can be done about them. Besides proposing insti
 tutional reforms\, he argues that prosecutors\, judges\, lawyers\, and jur
 y members ought to place justice before the law—for example\, by refusing 
 to enforce unjust laws or impose unjust sentences.\n\nIn addition to cover
 ing jury nullification in this new book\, he has also covered the subject 
 in a previous book entitled The Problem with Political Authority\, a paper
  entitled 'The Duty to Disregard the Law\,' and 'A Defense of Jury Nullifi
 cation” in The Palgrave Handbook of Philosophy and Public Policy.\n\nWe wi
 ll discuss with Professor Huemer the purpose of the law\, the role of juri
 es in the legal system\, philosophical arguments for and against jury null
 ification\, sticky issues for conscientious jurors such as getting through
  jury selection\, dealing with oaths\, and more.\n\nThose of us who suppor
 t jury nullification in general but struggle with the ethical details of w
 hen and how to engage in it will find much value in this discussion. Those
  of us who feel totally prepared for jury duty but seek to persuade our co
 mmunities—in the face of outright lies being told by judges\, prosecutors\
 , and other government apologists—can learn much to help us more successfu
 lly create fully informed jurors ready to do justice when called to serve.
