Federal Jury Act

The Federal Jury Act, enacted in 28 U.S.C. ยงยง 1861-1879, establishes the procedures for selecting, serving on, and managing federal juries. It ensures a fair and impartial jury system by requiring random selection from a broad pool of citizens, providing juror compensation, and detailing the processes for excusing or disqualifying jurors. The Act aims to uphold justice by maintaining a representative jury pool and safeguarding the rights and responsibilities of both jurors and the courts in federal cases.
