COVID-19 Pandemic Recovery Task Force asked to promote remote jury selection

The Florida Bar should promote remote jury selection as a potential tool for easing the backlog of cases that has been building since March.

That’s the advice Fourth Judicial Circuit Judge Bruce Anderson gave the COVID-19 Pandemic Recovery Task Force at an October 5 meeting.

“Some people are very resistant to change,” Judge Anderson said. “Where the Bar could probably provide the most help is to be willing and open to have the discussions begin.”
