"The role of the American jury, the central vehicle for citizen participation in the legal system, is being sharply limited by new laws, court rulings and a legal culture that is moving away from trials as a method of resolving disputes." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article examines the diminishing responsibility of American jurors and examines the debate regarding "whether jurors who return huge awards and sometimes clear people who seem to be guilty are up to the task that has been assigned to them for centuries.".
