Citizens' Juries

A Citizens’ Jury is a deliberative process where a small, randomly selected group of citizens reviews complex issues, like policy or public concerns. Over several days, they listen to expert presentations, discuss viewpoints, and question stakeholders. The goal is to gather informed public input and produce recommendations that reflect diverse perspectives, helping policymakers understand citizen priorities. It’s a way to involve ordinary people directly in decision-making, ensuring that policies consider public values and insights beyond traditional expert consultations.
