15 Minutes with FIJA

19 October 2020

This short, weekly event features a quick 15-minute presentation from FIJA:

• to update you on recent jury-related news such as the status of trial by jury during the pandemic, court cases related to jury rights, legislation regarding trial by jury, etc., and
• highlight one FIJA project, resource, activity, etc.

We'll start on time, pack that 15 minutes with information, and then you can be on your way. Optionally, you can stick around for another 15 minutes for a quick Q&A session afterward.

Visit the main 15 Minutes with FIJA page to register for upcoming sessions.
