Overview

Every year, more than 1.5 million Americans become jurors. How are they selected? And after the attorneys rest their case, how do they conduct themselves behind the closed doors of the jury room? From voir dire to deliberation, this program spotlights the role that jurors play--and the challenges that they face--in a representative case in which a defendant is charged with armed robbery. In addition, the services of professional jury consultants are also profiled.
