During the deliberations concerning the commission's report, I became an advocate of a proposal to divide the Milwaukee School District (100,000 students) into between eight and ten pie - shaped districts extending from the Milwaukee inner - city to the suburbs.
In U.S. v. Lawson, on the other hand, the federal Fourth Circuit addressed at length the reliability
concerns presented by reliance on Wikipedia.32 The issue arose when, despite the trial court's explicit instruction not to conduct research on the internet or otherwise, a juror reviewed,
during deliberations, a Wikipedia definition of an element of the crime with which the defendant was charged.33 The juror no longer had the original Wikipedia entry but obtained a printout two weeks later in anticipation of his appearance before the court on complaints of juror misconduct.
