courthouse.
link to
many are rejected.
Distant courthouse
Drafted
jurors are required to travel
very far to distant courthouses
instead of the courthouse that is
closest to where they live.
link to
enormous distance traveled.
Drafted jurors have to drive long distances to distant
courthouses and that driving hurts the environment
by polluting the air and adding greenhouse gas and
creating replacement gasoline often includes the use
of toxic chemicals that pollute water.
Mandatory jury duty is responsible for a large portion of global warming.
Earth will eventually become extremely HOT if mandatory jury duty
is allowed to continue in the United States. ( About 250 degrees. )
Alternatives to mandatory jury duty
ALL VOLUNTEER
JURY SYSTEM
Volunteers choose a starting
week and a courthouse even though
they do not choose a specific room
or trial.
Volunteers will be able to reduce
driving by choosing a courthouse
that is closest to where they live.
Automatically
excuse people
who fail to show
up or reply to
a summons Set the fine for ignoring a
jury summons to zero.
People will not come if::
  • important work
  • important school
  • court too far away
Repeal sixth
and seventh
constitutional
amendments.
Several Radio talk show
hosts have advocated changing
the U.S. Constitution to totally
abolish juries.
