Most federal judges tell jurors not to use Facebook, Twitter and other social networking tools to communicate information about the trials in which they are sitting, according to the results of a survey conducted by the Federal Judicial Center. About 96 percent of federal judges surveyed said they have taken preventative measures to keep jurors from using social media during trials and deliberations. About 60 percent of judges said they have used the model jury instructions regarding the use of electronic technologies. The model rules were distributed in 2010 to address social media use. Other judges reported using their own jury instructions to warn jurors.
