Description

Hear from panelists with backgrounds in defense, prosecution, and the judiciary, who craft the nitty-gritty details of the Revised Arizona Jury Instructions (RAJIs).

What You’ll Learn:

1. Peremptory challenges are gone, how will the RAJIs help me?

2. Can non-lawyers help update Arizona’s capital jury instructions?

3. Will Arizona have an implicit bias jury instruction?

"good information, relevant to trial practice"

"The content was very useful. I expected it to be more specific to the issue of drafting jury instructions in light of Arizona's rule eliminating peremptory strikes."
