Juror Appreciation Week
Did you know that 95% percent of the world’s jury trials are held here in America? Juries are one of the ways American society guarantees the rights of citizens on trial. Your right to a jury trial is like so many other American rights – it comes with responsibility. We all hope we’ll never need a jury of our peers, but somebody needs one every single day. We owe it to our fellow Americans to answer that call.
