People are leafletting outside courthouses all around the country today in observation of Jury Rights Day. On this day of celebration and commemoration, juror educators hope to create many more fully informed jurors who understand and are prepared to act on the knowledge that: - Jurors cannot be punished for their verdicts. - Jurors have the right to deliver a general verdict and are not required to explain the reason for their verdict. - Jurors have the legal authority and the ethical duty to consult their consciences and to render a just verdict, even if it requires setting aside the law to do so.
