The Importance Of The Judicial System

The purpose of this paper is to inform the citizens of the community about the importance of having understanding about the judicial system. There are many adults who have never been commanded for jury duty and probably will not. However, I strongly encourage people to empower themselves with knowledge of legalities so that if every needed each will know how to take action.
Educated Jury

Sadly, the existence of crime is common in America. Murder, rape, and robbery are examples of serious crimes that demands absolute justice. The Judicial System is created to serve justice by way of deterring crime and punishing those who violates the law. Justice should be the equitable access and applicability of rights, privileges, and opportunity however;

Men and women taken from everyday life, unfamiliar with courtroom procedure and courtroom language have to make big decisions about ones freedom. They are misled by the judge’s instruction, misunderstand the law, and give unfair or prejudiced decisions (Champion, 2012). The best method to avoid inadequate verdicts that are lead by persuasion, beliefs, and emotions is to educate jurors what is law and how does the law apply to each case. Not every juror has knowledge about the justice system before serving. Those who have been selected for duty have been randomly selected having diverse backgrounds this prevents biases decision-making.
There is great a benefit serving on jury trials, it allow citizens of community to become more familiar with how their local courts are handle. Those who serve on the panel are likely to have a better understanding of laws and regulations. Many citizens may not know jurors have the power to disagree with the laws. Jury nullification occurs when a jury reaches a verdict that goes against the law. Jurors have the right to disagree with the law if the law under which the defendant is charges is conflicting or the law should not be applied in the trial
