Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Juries do not get training but judges do. Juries hear expert testimony
in lieu of training, and failing to allow that can be grounds for
appeal.

p.s.  I think of this issue as similar to juror education that happens
in 
some courts.  Recognizing that when you pull from the general public for

jurors, you get a wide cross-section of people from all different 
backgrounds and with all different levels of education.  It is intended
to 
have all jurors start on an equal playing field with an educated 
perspective.  Many court systems opt not to do juror education because
they 
believe it will be perceived as biasing the jurors.
