Professor Paul Butler at The Little Idea Series
May 20, 2009
Gallery Bar, New York, NY
"The Little Idea" is a lecture series hosted by the Gallery Bar that features a short lecture by a single speaker: no moderator, no long introductions At this event, co-sponsored by AllHipHop.com and the American Constitution Society, Professor Paul Butler argued that jurors should utilize strategic jury nullification, undoing the damage of mass incarceration and unfair criminal-justice policies by voting "not guilty" on principle. Jury nullification is further examined in his recent book, Let's Get Free.
