JURY DUTY Jerry Lazar

JURY DUTY. Trying to wriggle out? We're not going to teach you how! We're going to tell you why you should serve on a jury! It's good for our communities. It's good for our country. And it's good for you.  Sure, you've got a million excuses why you can't do it. You can't take time off work. It interferes with your vacation. Blah blah blah. Well, JURY DUTY is the cornerstone of our legal system, and of participatory democracy itself! It's as important as voting -- it's your right and responsibility as a citizen. No, we won't lecture and harangue you. But we will talk to top legal experts who will give you a behind-the-scenes look at why JURY DUTY is such a fascinating process. And how other countries do it. And how we can do it better in the U.S., so that citizens will actually want to serve. And not try to wriggle out.  I'm Jerry Lazar. I'll be your host. I invite you to join me for JURY DUTY. It's good for you!
