Juror Education

The Juror Education Project is a nonpartisan initiative designed to elevate our understanding and appreciation of the crucial role that juries and a healthy judiciary play in our society, while also increasing employee participation in jury service.

Juror Education Overview

We are currently looking for employers to participate in our summer 2025 pilot. If you are interested in participating as a pilot employer, please let us know.

  1. Why is Juror Education important for your employees?

    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.

  2. How does Juror Education Simulation work?

    The Juror Education Project is an engaging, educational experience promotes the concept that serving on a jury is how Americans do their part to uphold our rights, maintain fairness, and participate in our justice system as active, independent arbiters of the law.

    The simulation is an engaging and immersive role-playing activity that teaches employees the basics of jury service while preparing participants to serve on a real jury. Currently in development, the simulation places employees in the role of jurors, empowering employees to explore the process firsthand and develop a greater appreciation for the important role that jurors play in the justice system.
