- Title
Jury Service for All? Analysing Lawyers as Jurors.
- Authors
Parry, R. Gwynedd
- Abstract
Section 321 of and Sched. 33 to the Criminal Justice Act 2003 abolished many of the old restrictions on jury service eligibility previously contained in the Juries Act 1974. The result has been to widen significantly the pool of eligible jurors in criminal trials. This article addresses some of the implications of allowing lawyers, including members of the judiciary, to serve on juries, and considers the recent guidance issued to them in order that they perform their role as jurors appropriately. It will also reflect upon the Court of Appeal's recent ruling in R v Abdroikov and Others, which considers many of the pertinent issues, including the issue of jury bias.
