The Supreme Court in Michigan ordered judges there starting Sept. 1 to order jurors to refrain from using cellphones, computers and other electronic devices to discuss cases before them. San Francisco Superior Court on Jan. 1 began including such instructions after some of the 600 jurors said they went online because there were no explicit prohibitions against such independent research.
