The No Rogue Jurors Act would prohibit the federal government from providing grants, contracts, awards, or other financial assistance to any organization, school, or entity that promotes jury nullification. Jury nullification refers to jurors voting to acquit a defendant despite evidence of guilt or voting against the law. The bill specifically targets training programs, materials, and outreach efforts—including those labeled "Equity & Root Cause Jury Training" or similar names—that encourage potential jurors to vote contrary to evidence or applicable law in federal or District of Columbia court proceedings. This legislation affects advocacy organizations, educational institutions, and other groups that might receive federal funding. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are included in the bill text.
