WEB 2 Vital Trial Principles Endure Amid Tech Advances

Backdrop

The legal world, like many others, has undergone a technological transformation in recent years. Digital communication, data analysis, and artificial intelligence are just a few of the technologies that are changing the way lawyers work.

Unchanging Principles of Fair Trial

Despite these advances, two fundamental principles of a fair trial remain unchanged:

1. The right to a fair and impartial jury. This means that the jury must be selected from a representative cross-section of the community, and that the jurors must be free from bias or prejudice.


2. The right to a fair hearing before an impartial judge or tribunal. This means that the judge or tribunal must be impartial and must follow the applicable laws and procedures.

VITAL Trial

The VITAL Trial, a large-scale clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health, is evaluating the effects of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acid supplements on the health of older adults.

The trial is designed to determine whether these supplements can reduce the risk of major chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
