"Offers a powerful argument for why we need changes in our laws to fully realize the promise of a fair jury for all."
— Access to Justice Institute
The Constitution guarantees the right for defendants to be tried by a jury of their peers. Yet in actual practice, legal loopholes in jury selection and lack of compensation combine to result in homogeneous juries that are predominantly white, older, and upper class.
Judging Juries, the latest from celebrated documentarian Abby Ginzberg, looks at the significant impacts caused by prevailing jury selection practices. The film also explores innovative approaches - supported by prosecutors and defense attorneys alike - that are helping juries become truly representative of the communities in which they are formed.
