Description

Requiring COVID-19 vaccination for jury members seems like a public health no-brainer as Delta continues to spike, but it’s raising tricky questions about whether vaccine disparities along racial and political lines could skew jury pools. Joining us this week to discuss the issue is Law360 senior reporter Chris Villani, who breaks down how judges across the country are handling juror vaccination and how trial attorneys are reacting. Also this week: Law360’s annual look at how big firms are working toward diversity; a novel effort by Arizona State University to sue an Instagram account spreading pandemic misinformation; and a bizarre back-and-forth between a trial judge and appellate court that left the Second Circuit “puzzled.”
