Abstract:

The authors ascertain that race can play a considerable role in the quality of jury selection, and in the process, the legal profession overall. Through examining illustrations of research studies, as landmark cases and legislation, and the Batson framework’s three step analysis, Coleman and Weiss assert its powerful potential for litigants, the community, and jurors who are wrongfully excluded from participating in the judicial process.
