It gives the ordinary citizen the opportunity to obtain justice and gives the people -- through the jury -- the power to effect positive change for society. Power over wealthy corporations. Power over governments. The law, through the jury, gives the people power over the powerful."Fellow - American Bar Foundation(Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer by the National Board of Trial Advocacy)
