Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Classical Journal, 1921-1922, Vol. 17 Writers are generally agreed on the subject of the personnel of the American jury. Due to a number of reasons, the average jury, they feel, is composed of individuals of mediocre ability and mentality, who regard it as no great inconvenience to devote their time to such service.' Statistics seem to show that busy pro fessional men and successful business men prefer to pay the fines imposed for refusal to serve rather than devote their time to jury duty.' It is entirely probable that men engaged in professions which carry with them exemption from jury service, such as teach ing, for example, avail themselves of this exemption not entirely because they are so devoted to their business, but because they as conservative and law-abiding citizens are entirely satisfied with a vicarious acquaintance with the courts. The consequence is that jury service has grown to be practically a profession with a type of otherwise unemployed or at least indifi'erently employed individ uals.'
