Fully Informed Jury Association Literature Distribution

FIJA is back from winter recess. What: We'll be informing potential jurors that their primary function is to protect the rights of the accused from tyrannical or immoral laws, not simply to administer punishment. Approximately 700 potential jurors appear at the Justice Center in downtown Fort Worth each Monday morning. This is a copy of the tri-fold that we'll be distributing. Here's a copy of useful tips that FIJA recommends for passing out literature near courthouses. If you're interested, you may also view the jury selection process as a guest, according to the court bailiff. When: Monday at 7:15 until 8:30 a.m. Why: The topic of jury rights will be of most interest and relevance to people who may serve on a panel. It will be on the top of their mind, and they are much more likely to read those documents than at any other time. This also provides an opportunity for outreach to meet other like-minded folks and bring them into the fold. Make a stand for Liberty!
