California lawmakers vote to allow expedited jury trials
The Expedited Jury Trials Act, praised by the plaintiff and defense bars alike, is expected to be signed into law later this month. In an expedited trial, if agreed to by both parties, each side would have three hours to present its case before an eight-member jury. Supporters say the new rules will allow plaintiffs to bring smaller cases that might not otherwise go to court.
