2025 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Short Form Documentary Nominee
"The importance of fairness and representation in the jury selection process cannot be emphasized enough, and, Judging Juries is a must-see film demonstrating the real implications of this. We have used it in Pennsylvania to educate judges, the legislature and citizens about the need for reasonable compensation for jurors and a diverse jury pool. This film is not just a learning tool, but an awakening for our understanding that jury service is both a privilege that strengthens democracy and a mandatory requirement under the law."
— Deborah R. Gross, Esq., CEO and President, Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts
"Eye-opening"
— Christine Welch, League of Women Voters Berkeley Albany Emeryville
"A jury of one's peers is the cornerstone of the U.S. criminal legal system, but a new documentary by filmmaker Abby Ginzberg reveals that remains a rarity for many Black and brown people charged with a crime in Alameda County and beyond"
— The East Bay Echo
"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
