This sounds like a good thing, to ensure that people like yourself, and not government officials, would determine the verdict of trials. In practice, however, this has led to the practice of mandated citizen jury service. Mandated jury service violates the rights of all citizens by compelling them to answer summons to serve on juries. In addition to the resulting forced disruption of lives, the resulting peer juries are not necessarily the best arbitors of justice. Each new jury must be selected to weed out obviously unqualified candidates. Selected candidates must be educated in multiple principles of law, some of which are beyond their understanding. Judges, in these conditions, have asserted the authority to order jurors to consider or not consider various types of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, professional jurors could perform the role more efficiently and with a higher competence level. Great Britian successfully makes wide use of professional jurors. To ensure that professional jurors are well selected, qualified, and conducting their duties responsibly, this Constitution places them under the authority of the Judicial Congress (directly elected by the people) who appoints these professional jurors, writes the procedures and regulations by which they operate, and has the power to remove and replace any poorly performing professional jurors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Comment Instructions&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.6&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5px|10px|5px|10px|false|false&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_module=&#8221;479&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Comments are welcome below.
