The Joy of the Jury | Neil Rockind | TEDxOaklandUniversity

I am a trial lawyer. Yes, a real trial lawyer -- not the ones that claim to be but panic at the thought of a jury trial but a real, in the trenches, put your client's fate in the hands of a jury. This talk is about the joy of the jury -- the single most important protection in the Constitution. We're going to discuss the jury trial, my experiences with juries and what is it about the jury trial that makes it so interesting, important and controversial.
