CUNY School of Law TRIAL PRACTICE SEMINAR
JURORS WANTED for STUDENTS’ FEDERAL COURT JURY TRIALS. Professor Rick Rossein's Trial Practice Seminar students (2 L’s) are conducting federal court civil jury trials on Tuesday April 25, Wednesday April 26, Thursday April 27, Friday April 28, from 3:15 to 7:30 p.m. at CUNY School of Law, 2 Court Square, Long Island City, NY 11101-4356 (across the street from the Citibank building). The E, G, M and # 7 trains are right next to the Law School and the F, N, and R trains are a few blocks away.
Please consider volunteering to be a juror to hear and decide the case and then to give feed back to the student lawyers. It is very helpful to our students, and you will learn a lot yourself. It will also give you insight into how law students learn litigation and trial skills. If you are thinking about a career in law, this is a wonderful opportunity. The trial is a case of retaliation against a female manager of the NYC Transit Authority who complained of sexual harassment directed not at her, but at low paid female cleaners. It is taken from a real case that I litigated before both the United States District Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
We will provide pizza and soda for dinner.
If you are available on one or more of the trial dates and would like to participate, please let me know by sending me an e-mail ([email protected]) and my Assistant Marilyn Bauer ([email protected]). Spaces are limited, so please apply early. You will be assigned to one date. Also, if you want a tour of the Law School before the trial, let us know so that the Admissions Office can set it up. Thank you for your consideration and anticipated quick response.
Please set up email with this template:
