Juries Protect Us All
America’s civil justice system has stood the test of time. It doesn’t put anyone in jail. Instead, it punishes those who act with disregard for the welfare of the rest of us. It also strives to restore the health and well-being of those who have been harmed by others’ actions.
Our fundamental constitutional right to a trial by jury is under attack. Special interests, such as the manufacturing, insurance and drug industries, want to change the system to benefit their own financial and legal interests.
Here are other challenges to our justice system that many of us may not often think about:
- Inadequate juror compensation.
- Juror prejudice from public relations campaigns.
- Delayed or denied justice from court budget cuts.
- Judge shortages backlogging cases.
- Appellate courts reversing jury verdicts.
- Secret settlements hiding justice from the public.
- Refusing media access to investigate court files.
- Legislatures predetermining legal issues.
- A poisoned, partisan political landscape.
