Will Snowden - a podcast by John Noltner

Will Snowden received his law degree from Seton Hall Law School in New Jersey and worked as a public defender in New Orleans. Through his work in the justice system, he became concerned with weaknesses in our jury system that lead to a lack of diversity in jury members and ultimately, unjust outcomes.

In response, Will established The Juror Project, whose mission is “to change the makeup of juries to better represent the American population and the communities most commonly accused." They pursue this "through community and public education about jury eligibility and the jury selection process and the power jurors hold in America's high stakes criminal justice system.”

We talked about the ways the jury selection process can be reformed to lead to increased diversity, the things he will be watching for during the upcoming trail of Derek Chauvin and Will's own experience with law enforcement that led him to pursue a career in the justice system.
