Definición

  • Over the past 15 years, courts have begun implementing a host of reforms to the jury system in response to growing criticism about jurors' competence to decide cases. Of particular concern was the ability of jurors to set aside preexisting biases and to understand increasingly complex evidence and legal principles.
