Jury Trial Improvement Committee Reports
The Jury Trial Improvement Committee was established in 2002 by the Judicial Council of the Ninth Circuit to develop and implement innovative approaches that both improve the juror experience for citizens and contribute to better court management of the jury system. The committee includes circuit, district and magistrate judges, criminal and civil attorneys and court administrators. The committee delivered a preliminary report to the judicial council in May 2004 and a follow-up report in October 2006. A number of committee recommendations are currently being implemented.
