See what Sixth Amendment TTA is happening in North Carolina.
We worked with the New Hanover County Public Defender’s Office to:
Educate and train criminal legal system stakeholders on how to deal with disparities in jury pools and to generally increase literacy around fair cross-section challenges
Provide training on identifying fair cross-section issues
This included hosting 3 webinars, one for all legal system actors on the legal, constitutional, and procedural components of court challenges to jury representativeness; one for defenders focusing on discovery and 6th Amendment jury claims; and a third webinar to provide additional information for defenders on raising constitutional challenges to jury diversity.
Develop and recommend model practices to ensure representative juries, including community and stakeholder education and training
