- Title
Chapter 181: The End to Juror Electronic Communications.
- Authors
Chow, Kimberley
- Abstract
The article presents information on the discontinuation of the internet use to research information and communicate, for the members of the jury since it presents unsupported and unverified information. It depicts that the Judicial Conference of the United States issued twitter alerts to all federal judges to abort the use of internet for legal research. Following this, California proposed Chapter 181, which provides the definition of internet use for research and authorizes the court to punish noncompliant jurors, to keep pace with modern technology and avoid such turbulence. It also highlights the Supreme Court case of Rodriguez v. Fedex Freight, Inc., in reference to this approach.
