Dr. Mary J. Ruwart received her Ph.D. in Biophysics in 1974 from Michigan

Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1976 as a Senior Research Scientist.  While there,
from 1976 to 1995, she assisted in the development of new therapies for a
variety of diseases, including AIDS.  Mary is a newly elected member of the
Board of Directors of the Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA).  She is
profiled in several Who's Who publications, including International Leaders
of Achievement and Who's Who of American Women.  She is the Author of
Healing Our World: The Other Piece of the Puzzle, a book about political
freedom of choice.  Visions Magazine thought it might be "the most
important book of the decade."

Dr.  Walker F. Todd received his Ph.D. in French from Columbia University
and @ J.D. degree from Boston University School of Law in 1974.  He has
published extensively on banking, international debt, and the regulation of
the banking system and financial markets.  From 1985 until 1994, Mr. Todd
was assistant general counsel and research officer at the Federal Reserve
Bank of Cleveland.  In 1981 he was a member of the United States
negotiating team that obtained the release of 52 American hostages from
Iran.  Currently, he is a member of the bar in the states of Ohio and New
York and is admitted to practice in all courts, including the United States
Supreme Court.  He has served as an adjunct faculty member in the
Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, Cleveland State University since 1988.


"Order in the Court," a talk by Nathan Lapp, FIJA!s New York State
Coordinator, and well-known local civil activist.  Mr. Lapp, whose family
dairy and vegetable farm is located in Cassadaga, Chautauqua County, New
York, speaks from a deeply personal perspective on jury nulfification, and
the Bill of Rights.  Sisters, Barbara and Rachel Lapp, co-authored the
book, No Law Against Mercy, a chronicle of the nationally publicized, (and
locally jailed) "Mayville Five," a legal case with ties to the historic
trials of William Penn and John Peter Zenger and jury responses to the
Fugitive Slave Laws.
