The Federal Jury Project

The Federal Jury Project was an initiative established in the 1930s to improve the functioning of jury trials in the United States. Its goal was to study how juries operate, identify issues such as fairness and understanding, and recommend reforms to ensure juries are impartial, well-informed, and effective in delivering justice. The project involved research, surveys, and consultations to make the jury system more transparent and equitable, ultimately strengthening public confidence in the legal process.
