LAW AND CIVIC APATHY
NARROW THE JURY LIST
Few people really want to serve on juries.
The responsibility is, for one thinK, considerable.
The pay in North Carolina is $4 a day.
The inconvenience, especially to jobholders, is
obvious.
And iyet, the jury system is basic to American
jurisprudence. And, with all its flaws, it offers the
best guarantee of justice that is available under the
law.
It is important, then that juries be composed
of responsible citizens representative citizens
who honor their jury obligation as a sacred trust.
That doesn't always happen in North Carolina.
Under the statutes, vast groups of people are not re
quired to serve on juries.
Since 1885, various legislatures, acting at the
instance of pressure groups, have exempted persons
of one occupation or another until now about SO per
cent of the qualified residents of the state are exempt
from jury duty. The result i that the calibre of
juries often just doesn't measure up to acceptable
standards.
This is a basic weakness in the state's courts,
based as they are on the jury system. If juries are
incompetent, the quality of justice suffers.
The list of exemptions has little rhyme or reason.
It includes druggists, telegraph operators, train dis
patchers, ministers, embalmers, funeral directors,
employes of state mental institutions, members of
professional or volunteer fire departments, printers,
linotype operators, grist mill operators, rural mail
carriers, postal clerks, broadcasting technicians and
announcers, optometrists, registered and practical
nurses, and railway engineers, brakemen, and con
ductors. It also takes in lawyers and members of
the Civil Air Patrol and of the National and State
Guard.
Although additions have been made to the list
over the years, no occupational group once exemp
ted has ever been removed. Unfortunately, many of
the exempt occupations require special training and
skills that make their people especially desirable as
jurors.
In its 1958 shitty headed by J. Spencer Bell, the
N. C. Bar Association recommended a sharp reduc
tion in the number of persons exempted from jury
service. The report said that, in principle, exemp
tions should be limited to lawyers and policemen
whose special relation to the court made it improper
for them to serve as jurors. It recommended that
judges or jury commissioners have discretion to re
lieve cases of special hardships.
Such a drastic revision of exemptions should be
made. Very few citizens are so busy or essential
that they cannot spare a week's time every few
years for jury service.
The Courts Commission, which is now devising
methods to implement court improvement in N. C.,
should make recommendations for removing most of
the exemptions from jury duty in time for action by
the 1967 General Assembly. This reform is long
overdue.
