Join us for a complimentary webinar sponsored by the Federal Bar Associations’ Federal Litigation Section. Jury trials are becoming more rare and more expensive. The last thing you as the trial attorney need is a mistrial after all of the preparation and expense. In today’s modern society the use of social media and the Internet by jurors is leading to all sorts of problems in trial. Federal judges are keenly aware of the pitfall based on a recent study by the Federal Judicial Center. Beyond the threats posed, the Internet offers important opportunities in the area of jury selection. Tune in and be on the cutting edge of this important topic. During this webinar, our panel will discuss:

• Problems with jurors inappropriately accessing social media and the Internet
• How to use the Internet to help in jury selection
• Examples of situations from actual trials
• How federal judges and attorneys are taking pro-active and preventive steps
• Practical advice for trial attorneys
