The Fully Informed Jury Association is a national jury-education organization which both educates juries and promotes laws to require that judges resume telling trial jurors "the whole truth" about their rights, or at least to allow lawyers to tell them. This right is known as the right to jury nullification which allows a jury to decide the validity of law itself. Currently, judges are not legally obligated to notify jurors of this right. FIJA believes "liberty and justice for all" won't return to America until the citizens are again fully informed of their power as jurors, and routinely put it to good use.
Their current project is known as FIJA, the "Fully Informed Jury Act" or "Amendment."
