Upcoming Webinars Twenty Million Angry Men: A Conversation with Professor James Binnall Tuesday, 6 July 2021 at 12:30 pm Eastern / 11:30 am Central / 10:30 am Mountain/ 9:30 am Pacific
Are there valid, legal reasons for banishing millions of Americans from the jury process? How do felon-juror exclusion statutes impact convicted felons, jury systems, and jurisdictions that impose them?
In his book Twenty Million Angry Men: The Case for Including Convicted Felons in Our Jury System, Professor James Binnall provides the first full account of this pervasive yet invisible form of civic marginalization. Drawing on extensive research, Professor Binnall challenges rationales for excluding people convicted of felonies from jury service and highlights the benefits of their inclusion.
We'll discuss with Professor Binnall how, when it comes to serving as a juror, a history of involvement in the criminal justice system is an asset, not a liability.
Host a FIJA Speaker FIJA has pre-screened a number of speakers on jury nullification and related topics who are available for in person and online engagements.
Behind Closed Doors Podcast FIJA's unique podcast is the only one we know of that focuses specifically on the American jury system and the intended role of jurors in protecting individual rights and liberty.
