Judicial Conference Ramps Up

Next week, members of the legal community will attend the Judicial Conference on Jury Selection to discuss bias in the jury selection process. The conference, conducted pursuant to Rule 1:35-1, includes a panoply of attendees, including judges, judicial staff, lawyers, legislators, and members of the public who will weigh in on consideration of improvements and the practice and procedure on jury selection, including the use of peremptory challenges. The New Jersey Supreme Court called upon the Administrative Office of the Courts to hold the conference in the opinion of State v. Andujar, which addressed a prosecutor’s selective use of a background check on a potential Black juror to disqualify the individual from serving on the jury.
