The History, Philosophy, Effectiveness, and Potential Alterations of American Juries

In this episode we take a look at the fascinating history of using a jury of one’s peers as the basis for deciding the outcome of a trial. Because (as long as you're American at least), you probably take this system of trial for granted. But it’s actually a very unique system. And the way it came to us is WILD. Just as important, what’s the philosophy behind it? Is it effective? Should it be changed or gotten rid of? We’ll explore those questions and more in this episode.
