Clifford Law Offices offers a free article, "Innovation in Jury Trials"

The Chicago personal injury law office, Clifford Law Offices, announced that it has posted a legal article on their website (http://www.cliffordlaw.com) in an effort to educate the public about legal matters such as those pertaining to jury trials.

The 2005 American Bar Association Jury Project looked at a number of innovations to the jury system which included permitting juror questions for witnesses, jury note-taking, interim statements by counsel during longer trials, and giving preliminary substantive instructions on the law to juries before opening statements. Inquiry into these potential new procedures was prompted by social shifts in informational consumption, particularly, how the digital-age generation digests information.

Robert Clifford, the nationally renowned personal injury attorney based out of Chicago, wrote about the innovations as researched by the ABA Jury Project in a piece for the Chicago Lawyer. In "Innovation in Jury Trials," Clifford looks at the role played by juries in achieving just outcomes. Further, Clifford considers the questions posed by the Jury Project relative to the evolving complex relationship between judge, jury and counsel.
