Clark students have their day in court for law video

In March, about 150 Massachusetts judges will come to Clark to attend a conference on race and ethic fairness in the district court system. As part of that event, they’ll view a training video on bias in jury selection — a film that features current Clark students.

Mark Miller, professor of political science and director of Clark’s Law and Society program, recruited the students on behalf of Massachusetts District Court Judge Margaret Guzman ’89, the organizer of the second all-court Judicial Conference on Race and Ethnic Fairness, to be held on campus March 22.

The students involved in the filming include members of Epstein Pre-Law Society as well as the Mock Trial, men’s basketball, and women’s soccer teams. They traveled to Suffolk University Law School on Jan. 31 to participate, where they met with Chief Judge of the District Court Paul Dawley.

After the filming, Guzman said, “All of the students were perfect — professional, engaged, and very good sports. Clark University never disappoints.”
