Juries are hallowed institutions in our constitutional system. They are mentioned not once, but three times in the Bill of Rights, and had been earlier enshrined in Article III. At the heart of our exalted vision of the jury trial is the sense that juries should be reflective of the community which they are supposed to represent in the courtroom.

A study conducted by the Alan Guttmacher Institute of the 1974 House races found that, in “competitive” districts, 92 percent of the pro-choice candidates studied were re-elected while only 61 percent of the pro-life candidates were returned to Congress, …
