Jury Service
According to a study by the Maryland General Assembly, only 37 percent of those called for jury service in Baltimore actually show up. Through public education campaigns, MDCALA works to increase awareness about the importance of answering the call for jury service.Participating on a jury is a great way to serve our country, as a robust jury system is essential to protect our rights and ensure that everyone is treated fairly in the courtroom. By interpreting facts and returning an impartial verdict, jurors make sure our courts are used for justice, not greed.
The U.S. and Maryland Constitutions guarantee all people the right to trial by an impartial jury. Justice oftentimes ultimately depends upon the jurors who serve in our courts.
