Trial by jury is of undeniable importance to a barrister-at-law. Yet, Canadian law schools dedicate insufficient attention to this hallowed institution. This book introduces all aspects of the jury trial to law students, and young advocates.

Starting today, Ontario is raising juror compensation—for the first time since 1989—to $120 a day from Day 1 of service.

This long-overdue reform will remove financial barriers, ease burden on families & strengthen participation in one of the most vital aspects of our democracy.

Dancehall star Vybz Kartel is free. The Court of Appeal just ruled that he and three co-accused should not be retried for murder. Freedom, a day before Jamaica celebrates Emancipation Day, caps an almost 13-year journey of arrests, trial, convictions, and a successful appeal.

All provinces, and the Federal government, ought to rethink the discriminatory exclusion of tax paying citizens, who have the right to vote, from the #jury box. A few years ago, @NDesRosiers tried in Ontario by way of a Private Member's Bill:

"New Jersey has one of the nation's harshest jury exclusion laws. A bill championed by formerly incarcerated people seeks to walk that back and make juries more diverse as a result." #jury

[Bolts @boltsmag]

In New Jersey, 25% of Black adults are barred from ever serving on a jury.

“We’re whitewashing a space that’s disproportionately affecting Black and brown communities,” said one lawyer. “Which calls into question: who is getting a jury of one’s peers?”

"Delivering the council's ruling a panel of justices said that a juror accused of attempting to bribe fellow #jury members was not removed...Allowing this juror to stay, the council said, was "fatal to the safety of the convictions which followed" #Jamaica
