Juror Appreciation Week blog As part of Juror Appreciation Week, find out how the jury selection process works in our latest blog post on Inside HMCTS. It highlights the concept of being judged by peers which dates back hundreds of years and is referenced in Magna Carta. Jury service is one of the most important civic duties that can be asked of anyone over the age of 18. Jurors are summoned at random by the Jury Central Summoning Bureau, using electoral voting registers. Therapy for jurors hearing difficult cases The Ministry of Justice announced that from summer 2024, jurors who served at 15 courts across England and Wales will be offered support after their trial, as part of a new pilot. The new pilot - which is particular aimed at people who have served on mentally or emotionally demanding trials - will provide specialist expert support for jurors offering six free counselling sessions, alongside a 24/7 telephone helpline for round-the-clock triage support, advice and information. |
