That why I asked the questions I had a suspicion that it was to much to expect and that most who post here would miss it.
Any further discussion on the subject appears to be a waste of time

Wow i'm actually surprised that most of you actually support the jury system . i read an artilce about the jury system in Queensland where the public actually prefer not to serve as jurors out citing reasons like work and family commitments .

Is it also true that employers deduct their employees pay when they're on jury duty ?

we approve of others working, in any field.

jurors get a daily fee from government, employers are entitled to stop pay.

an internet jury could work in leisure time, for a small fee. even if they didn't work in real time from web cams, justice would be much faster than the current standard, days rather than years. this is one of the primary tests of justice, although largely ignored by our political and legal masters.

Legiteam, most people would prefer not to be called up for jury duty. But this lack of willingness doesn’t mean the system is bad, or worse than other options.

I’m just wondering what system you would prefer. I suppose there is really only one other system – single judges, or panels of three or five in very important cases?

DEMOS, the problem with internet juries would be accountability, I would think.

‘Non-cyber’ juries are physically required to attend the whole proceedings. But cyber juries could forego most of the trial and just lob in at the end when the prosecution and defence counsels sum up their cases, or perhaps not even bother to listen to those…. unless they are required to undergo a test to show that they were tuned in to the whole deal....or required to sign in to each session....with a video cam displayed in the courtroom to make sure that each jury member stayed in front of their computer screens.
