Abstract
This research explores the experiences of those who have served on jury duty in British Columbia. This exploratory, qualitative study was completed using a semi-structured interview with jurors. The inductive approach used in this study provided the opportunity to explore both positive and negative reports related to jury duty. The research results revealed that overall participants valued their experiences as jurors. Findings also suggest many instances of negative impact. The experiences are explored through a constructivist lens and highlight the notion of place as well as the role of community as important to fostering positive juror experiences, while also exploring avenues to better support jurors in the process of completing their civic duty. |
