Efficient jury empanelling: Respecting people's time
This article is inspired by a recent experience of being summoned for jury service. We describe a simulation model of the jury selection process. The goal is to explore how the needs of the justice system can be met while also respecting the time of people who report for jury service. Specifically, we want to see if the number of people summoned can be reduced while ensuring that sufficient people are available for the scheduled trials.
Jury service is an important civic duty, providing a way for people to directly participate in upholding the law and contribute to their community. But the jury service process, like much of the justice system, is designed around the needs of the system rather than the needs of the people it serves.
