Family Law Jury proposes a three-person public review panel
A proposed public-education and research initiative asks community jurors to review family-court proceedings and compare their conclusions with the court’s.
- For
- Family-court participants and public-interest researchers
- Worth noticing
- The proposed three-person process keeps individual verdicts separate before deliberation and preserves minority views when jurors disagree.
Field notes
The page specifies a five-step protocol: jurors watch the complete available proceeding, receive neutral instructions, submit separate verdicts, deliberate, and only then compare their reasoning with the court’s. Its proposed tools cover property and debt, parenting plans, and child-support inputs; it also says minority views would be retained when a three-person panel cannot reach unanimity. The excerpt invites trial requests and volunteers but does not establish that panels or a case library are already operating.
