Why is Juror Education important for your employees?
Juror Education is an engaging, educational experience that fosters genuine interest, high interaction, and active learning among employee participants. It promotes the concept that serving on a jury is how Americans do their part to uphold our rights, maintain fairness, and participate in the justice system as active, independent arbiters of the law.
Juries are a cornerstone of our justice system. As Americans, we are all guaranteed the right to a trial by a jury of our peers, and serving on a jury is how we ensure that right can be exercised. Participating in the justice process increases transparency, which, in turn, increases trust in the integrity of our system.
Employers are in a uniquely strong position to support and encourage employees when they are selected for jury service. By educating employees about jury service and offering support and resources when they are selected to serve, employers help ensure that more citizens report for jury service, leading to higher levels of trust in our system and a stronger civic culture overall.
