Check out this unusual twist to Harris vs Ericsson:

Comments: Editor's Note:

The verdict in this case may be doubled because 
of the finding of willfulness. On November 20, 2002,
Judge Lynn authorized the attorneys for the parties 
to contact three of the jurors who were on the jury
that decided this case to discuss the verdict.
 
It is most unusual for a federal judge to allow attorneys to contact jurors.
