One day/one trial refers to an increasingly widespread
technique utilized for jury service.
In it, a person’s term of jury service is limited to the
completion of one trial. If
not selected for a jury on the first day, he or she fulfills the jury
service term by having been available on that day.
Persons may be on call for several days, but once they report,
their service is completed by serving one day or one trial.
With the spread of this technique come new questions about its
prominence, the ways to make the transition to a one day/one trial
system, and the implications that it has for jury systems across the
country.
This module seeks to explore the questions surrounding one day/one trial
and some of its advantages and disadvantages.
