South America is home to some remarkable juries! It has the
world’s newest jury systems in Argentina, and one of the most unusual jury
systems in Brazil, where jurors do not deliberate before delivering their vote.
Join us for a conference with experts on juries in the Americas.
We will talk about jury trials in Argentina’s largest
province and the fight for a federal jury bill. We will
examine the unusual Brazilian jury model, highlighting
its unique features and potential reforms currently being debated.
Discussants will reflect on these models and consider whether they offer
lessons for the American jury system.
