Fool, this is laughable. In the US you can get excused from jury duty. I can't speak for the UK, but in the US, nah. Some jurors do get paid. But jury duty is looked upon as a civic duty. Do you think that some day, AI will perform the task of jurors?bobevenson wrote:Every court jurisdiction has its own rules. Yes, you can get off jury duty with a good excuse, but why should you have to offer any excuse? Furthermore, legal decisions should not be made by people off the street, but by professional jurors paid by the government.
Please, I fail to see how paying a juror would help them render a proper decision.bobevenson wrote:I don't know about the future, but juries should be composed of well-paid professionals, not amateurs.

Of course you can, professionals often donate their time and services out of moral and civic duty. At least over here they do.bobevenson wrote:Please, you can't get professionals for free, duh!

Why not just model it after professional referee/umpire/etc. crews in sports?FlashDangerpants wrote:How would you go about monitoring the job performance of professional jurors?
What qualification do they need? Will there be a college course for jury professionals?
Is there to be a separate set of jury-accountants who can decide fraud cases that no longer have to be explained to the courts in layman's terms?
Absolutely. There should be a professional directory too which allows us to inspect who is on our jury and what their credentials are, where they studied, who their friends are and what they get up to on social media (so we can estimate their biases ofc).Terrapin Station wrote:Why not just model it after professional referee/umpire/etc. crews in sports?FlashDangerpants wrote:How would you go about monitoring the job performance of professional jurors?

Well, you wouldn't want it to be a closed-door affair, sure. It's just like we don't have a closed-door policy with judges, sheriffs, etc.FlashDangerpants wrote:Absolutely.
