Jury duty

  1. Jury duty is considered a civic responsibility yet many people find it burdensome or go out of their way to avoid it. Many other people are excused
    from jury duty. When jurors reach an unpopular verdict they are frequently derided by the media. What can be done to improve jury duty?
  2. The law currently makes no distinction between the use of direct and circumstantial evidence to establish guilt. In some cases this allows a
    conviction to be based on inferences piled on inferences. Should the law set standards to prevent convictions being based on speculation?
