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

Ok.  I thought some states had initiated juror education (though mine has 
not).  But there has been a movement to initiate Juror Education programs 
and I would support it for the same reason that I think it's important that 
judicial boards & hearing officers be educated.  And I strongly agree that 
basic definitions would help a great deal, again to make sure everyone 
begins with the same basic knowledge base.
