Suja Thomas: The Missing American Jury

Suja A. Thomas (professor of law at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is a constitutional originalist who has written (and been quoted in) numerous articles on topics including the role of private interests in determining jury processes, the incorporation of the Bill of Rights, and the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hear her read from her new book, The Missing American Jury: Restoring the Fundamental Constitutional Role of the Criminal, Civil, and Grand Juries, which examines the way in which juries have been slowly stripped of their constitutional powers—and how those powers can be restored.
