Judges differ on when it's safe to hold in-person jury trials

Despite reports from federal courts of in-person jury trials being held safely, many judges across the country are still deliberating whether to hold in-person jury trials at all. ABA Journal detailed the ongoing debate in a recent article: http://ow.ly/1MqY50DPvGo #jurytrials #law #COVID19

U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill says courts need to weigh local circumstances when deciding whether to hold live trials. Courtesy of the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho.
