THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
B&PW Committee
i
Points Importance
Of Jury Service
The importance of jury service
should not be underestimated. Quot
ing from Harlan F. Stone, “Jury ser
vice is one of the highest duties of
citizenship, for by it the citizen
participates in the administration of
justice between man and man and
between government and the individ
ual”
Since the year 1215, by the right
granted in England by the Magna
Charta, men in our country have
served on juries. In many of our
states women have been serving on
juries for years, but it was not until
the year 1953 that the State of
Georgia gave the right of jury service
to women.
We have enjoyed the privileges
and protection of our government for
a long time and it is our duty, as
citizens, to render service to our
government by serving as jurors
when we are called, if it is possible.
Jury service is a serious matter.
Each person with a case in court is
entitled to a fair trial by a fair mind
ed and intelligent jury. A jury is a
vital part of the court, and on the in
telligence, judgment, integrity, and
impartiality of jurors depends our
judical system.
Women must know that with ad
ditional rights as citizens they must
accept additional responsibilities. Al
though they have the right of exemp
tion they should remember that it is
their duty as a citizen to serve if at
all possible. However, if a woman
finds she can not serve, she can save
thd county expense and trouble by
writing the clerk of the Superior
Court, Jackson, Ga. and ask that her
name not be placed in the jury box.
If anyone wants to serve on the
jury and think your name has not
been placed in the jury box you
should write the Jury Commission of
this county stating your name and
occupation and ask that your name
be placed in the jury box at the next
meeting of the Jury Commission.
The qualifications of a juror are:
1. Listed on county tax book£ 2. 21
years of age or more, 3. An
and intelligent citizen. ,
The reward of a juror lies in the
consciousness that she has performed
a high duty of citizenship. >
