Program Overview:

This is the ninth annual collaborative Institute of the Central Ohio Association for Justice and the Columbus Bar Association. The Institute will provide presentations and demonstrations of a “mock” civil trial from voir dire to closing arguments, including a live feed of jurors deliberating the case. This year’s case involves a personal injury matter arising from a car crash in which the Plaintiff is an immigrant and speaks little or no English. Interpreter services will be used and the attendees will also study the issue of resultant jury bias.
