What if the youtuber in question was ALSO a paralegal, or... a Social Worker - which I believe actually a social worker of some sort was in that chat group, no? Wonder if the social worker was licensed by the overseeing body? Otherwise, they may not legally be allowed to call themselves one (legally, where I live, you can only call yourself a Social WOrker if you are a registered member of the oversight board, otherwise, you might be family worker, intake worker etc etc). I cannot remember the name of the "social worker" involved or where they were from - and no link sooo mooooo but you can verify the need for a license by googling Carolina USA social work oversight....I was a paid employee, working for the firm. In those days we had to do a lot of typing and copying so I had access to evidence and discovery. So I had to sign an 'ethics' contract with the office manager and was held accountable.
[I was a pre-law student at UC Berkeley, but ultimately decided not to go to law school. ]
I'd have no problem with a paralegal or a law professor, working for the defense team, doing the vetting. But I do have big problem with the jurors private info being sent to a you-tuber, or a random group of students, because they have not
been vetted themselves.
I was an employee of the law firm, and I was trained by them. I was NEVER allowed to share the jurors info with anyone, nor speak about that info to anyone.
They hadn't vetted jurors because as they were discussing this option, the trial was postponed.
Some of this group were known to be shady and dox others. And being you-tubers, they were prone to leak or disseminate info widely.
ETA: i'm not saying anyone of the youtubers also happens to be a social worker - its a generalized question: what if someone volunteering also happened to have a degree of some sort? Since I don't know what if any education / certification is required to become "licensed" to be doing the sort of work being discussed, I'm just asking.
