Orleans Public Defenders & The Juror Project - Will Snowden




Service Roads: Conversations on the Law and Social Justice show

Summary: Will Snowden is the founder and director of "The Juror Project", an organization dedicated to changing discriminatory practices that remove people of color from jury panels. Through grassroots community organizing, the project aims to actually achieve for criminal defendants their constitutionally guaranteed right: a jury of their peers. Mr. Snowden also speaks about his work with the Orleans Public Defender, and how growing up in an incredibly segregated midwestern city guided his aspirations to fight for equal justice.
