Bulwark Of Equality: The Jury In America, Nino C. Monea Sep 2019

Bulwark Of Equality: The Jury In America, Nino C. Monea

West Virginia Law Review

Many decry the state of societal inequality in modern America. Juries are not normally thought of as part of the solution, but history shows that they should be. It reveals that juries oftentimes advanced the interests of the poor and lowly when no one else would. It also reveals that powerful interests—government and corporate—have sought to disempower juries that rule in favor of marginalized groups. This Article examines four contexts throughout our history where juries have enhanced societal equality.
