Matthew Menchel discusses the national decline of trials by jury in federal courts at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers’ 2018 White Collar Seminar on November 9 in Washington DC. Matthew’s panel entitled “Trial Practice & Trial Penalty,” will discuss the trend of defendants conceding guilt in exchange for leniency and increased penalization for those exercising the constitutional right to a trial in the federal criminal justice system. Panelists will also examine how this issue differs between federal and state courts.
