MCBA Jury Assembly Project
Richard Levenstein
The
MCBA Jury Assembly Project is a 13 minute video
presentation on the importance of a fair, impartial
and independent judiciary and the role of the
separation of powers in our government. It is
designed to be a refresher course in civics for
individuals about to enter the jury selection
process, thereby becoming part of the judicial
branch of the government just highlighted in the
video.
Judge Roby and I and other members of the MCBA have
been working on this project for the last 3 years,
which we started when I was president of the MCBA.
We also received a grant from the Florida Bar
Foundation to offset the costs of producing the
video. The video will be given to the Chief
Judges of each circuit throughout the state, and
will therefore be played for literally hundreds of
thousands of citizens of Florida every year!
