Today’s moderator: Tom Sabulis
A 20-year veteran of the AJC, Tom Sabulis has covered news, politics and the arts during a career that has taken him to newspapers across the country. Since 2008, he has coordinated many of the newspaper’s pro/con debates and first-person guest columns.
Two weeks ago, we published a column by an Atlanta attorney whose firm’s nonprofit wing found that an alarming number of employment discrimination cases never reach a jury here.
Today, we continue the conversation.
An Atlanta lawyer explains that federal judges are only doing their jobs by tossing cases that don't meet minimum standards, while another echoes the words of Founding Fathers, who saw the jury trial as a pillar of justice for all Americans. To comment, go to: blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-forward
