Marquette Law Review
The Sixth Amendment’s criminal jury right is integral to the United States
criminal justice system. While this right is also implicated by the Due Process
Clause, Equal Protection Clause, and several federal and state statutes,
criminal jury trial rates have been declining for decades, down from
approximately 20% to 2% between 1988 to 2018. This dramatic drop in the
rate of criminal jury trials is an effective measure of the decreased access to
fair and constitutional criminal jury trials.
