Petition End Compulsory Jury Duty

More details

Compulsory jury duty is an infringement of our civil liberties, that punishes innocent people for the crimes of others, and is not justified.

Ending compulsory jury duty would have the additional benefit of encouraging the courts to treat the public who are prepared to serve with a little more respect.

This petition calls for the abolition of compulsory jury duty.
