Adam Benforado
Professor of Law, Drexel University, Pennsylvania and author of the perceptive and provocative

“Flawed Humans, Flawed Justice” — The New York Times — “Our legal system is based on an inaccurate model of human behavior.”

“Reasonable Doubts About the Jury System” — The Atlantic — “Trial consultants allow the affluent to manipulate the biases of those who judge them, putting justice up for sale.”

Lecture and Reception

Kirkus Reviews awarded Prof. Benforado its “starred” rating, stating that
UNfair “sounds an explosive alarm on the hidden unfairness of our legal system.”

The Boston Globe concurred:
“UNfair succinctly and persuasively recounts cutting-edge research testifying to the faulty and inaccurate procedures that underpin virtually all aspects of our criminal justice system.”
