In New York, for example, there are typically 23 people on a grand jury panel, versus 12 on a trial jury in criminal cases. Under the one-day, one-trial system, people summoned for jury duty have to spend just one day at the courthouse unless they are selected for a jury panel. and virtually all government agencies pay their workers for an unlimited amount of time on jury duty, which is why jury panels often consist of a disproportionate number of government employees and retirees. |
