Potential jurors in Oregon will learn about the task before them from a new orientation video.

Justice for All can be viewed on the Internet.

According to Judge Janice R. Wilson, Circuit Judge of Multnomah County in Portland, Oregon, The video was the work of a subcommittee of the Chief Justice's Access to Justice for All Committee. That subcommittee was chaired by Judge Eveleen Henry from Lane County. Fabulous staff coordination and support was provided by Cheryl Stone of the State Court Administrator's Office.

A good juror orientation (video or not) can prevent a host of problems -- from general confusion to serious mistrials.

Thanks to Judge Wilson for the tip!
