Episode description
It's a right guaranteed not once, but twice in our constitution – a trial by jury. And many of us are asked to serve on them, whether we want to or not.
Whether jury duty is a responsibility you dread or relish, the trial of former President Trump in Manhattan put the spotlight on the jury selection process – one that happens every day in courthouses across the country.
We speak with legal experts about the role juries play in our justice system – and the psychology of jury selection.
We also hear from someone who's served on a jury for another high-profile case.
