Abstract
Until recently, the impact of specific jury improvement efforts was based on anecdotal reports from courts scattered across the country. In April 2007, the NCSC Center for Jury Studies released its findings from the State-of-the-States Survey of Jury Improvement Efforts, which provides a comprehensive snapshot of jury procedures, operations, and practices in state and local courts. For the first time, courts have base-line information about their peers against which they can assess their own performance on a number of key operational measures. This issue of Caseload Highlights describes these measures and the approaches that state courts have implemented to improve jury system performance.
This abstract has been taken from the body of the report.
