dedicated in 1975 and rededicated in 1995. Upon its rededication,
it was named the George C. Young United States Courthouse
after a Chief Judge of the Middle District of Florida. The
interesting art was commissioned under the Art in Architecture

Jury Opinion Leaders
Many attorneys believe the foreperson is the most influential
member of the jury. A recent study confirmed that, according
to other jurors, the foreperson has considerable influence
on verdict. However, another juror also exerted influence
on the jury’s decision. This juror was the opinion
leader. While forepersons and opinion leaders share some
characteristics in common, they are by no means similar types
of people. The opinion leader may, in fact, be more influential
than the foreperson.
