Race and Representation in Jury Service Selection

Authors

Kurt M. Saunders

Abstract

Individuals before the courts are entitled to present their cases to juries that are "representative of the community." The former Jury Commissioner of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania explores the history of juries, the circumstances that have acted to frustrate this entitlement, and presents his legislative proposal designed to ameliorate the present problems in selecting truly representative juries in Pennsylvania.
