Scott Salter recently presented at a continuing legal education seminar on the subject of Keeping the Jury Pure: Jury Instructions, Jurors and Social Media. The presentation focused on the use and misuse of social media by jurors, ways to monitor the use of social media by jurors, jury instructions on social media used at the federal and state court levels, and specific cases in which verdicts were attacked based on social media use by jurors. The presentation also looked at the use of social media to evaluate prospective jurors during voir dire as well as continued evaluation of jurors during trial. The December 27, 2013 seminar was sponsored by Barristers Educational Services.
