System .
By Harry M, Philo
Among the many things
that society has traditionally

this may be changing as some
states are recognizing the con
stitutional right or tne handi
capped to jury duty.
In 1977 California became .
the first state to permit the
blind to sit on juries. The
practice continues today with
no problems.
Last year California passed
a new law which also gives
deaf people the right to sit
on civil and criminal juries
ana to participate actively in
the judicial system.
The new law states that
no one can
be excluded
from jury
dutv solelv

though a

inated from jury duty with
out cause during the pre-trial
examination by the lawyers
involved in the case.
The California law also
provides that ' sign language
interpreters can help deaf
jurors throughout the trial,
but it expressly states that
the interpreters cannot take
part in deliberations other
than to assist with communi
cations among the jurors.
However, nearly 30 states
have laws prohibiting deaf
people, or those who. aren't
in full possession of ' their
natural faculties, from serving
on juries. The states of
Washington and Massachusetts
leave the issue of allowing
the deaf to sit on juries up
to ' the discretion of the in
dividual presiding judge.
The main argument of some
lawyers against blind or deaf
jurors is that their client's
constitutional right to a fair
trial should bt given greater
weight : than a handicapped
person's asserted constitution
al right to jury duty.
But lawyers for the handi
capped argue that to exclude
them by law from jury duty
creates a suspect classification
of persons. And other lawyers
argue that to deny jury service
to the blind or deaf violates
their right to equal protection
under the law, as welt as the
rinclple that a jury should
comprised of a fair cross
section of the community.
