Hypothetical,
You have decided to represent yourself in some case against you. You feel the law is unjust. During your interview of your potential jurors, are you allowed to inform them of their ability to judge the law and vote their conscience? Would this be against court rules and not be allowed?
In other words, yes, a lot of people don't understand or are not aware of the concept of a juror voting his or her conscience, therefore, shouldn't you be and / or are you allowed to inform them of this prior to your approving them as a juror in your case?
I mean, we all want informed jurors hearing our case. Don't we?
