¿Jury Deliberation in the Age of Social Media¿
The power of digital connection and disconnection is evident in everyday life through our use and reliance on smart phones and other technology to keep us in constant contact with our social networks. The Supreme Court in Riley v. California has acknowledged that a juror¿s smart device contains the individual narrative of his or her private life. Patrick Brayer will share his research on whether the modern-day trial attorney or trial judge is aware of the effects of digital isolation on the contemporary juror caused by court rules regulating the use or possession of smart phones and other digital devices by sitting jurors. An experienced panel of experts will respond to the presentation and share their thoughts on the new generation of jurors that have grown up in a society where constant connection to social networks is the norm.
