Embrace Your Duty: Justice Awaits in the Jury Box

Participation in jury service is not merely a civic duty; it is a unique opportunity to engage in the administration of justice, a right fought for in history. Many people, however, seek to avoid this responsibility, forgetting the significance of the jury trial enshrined in foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence. This right is vital enough that countless individuals were willing to sacrifice their lives for it. Those who hold values of justice, particularly within a Christian context, should recognize jury service as a stewardship and a chance to influence justice by their presence. Avoiding service risks allowing others with different values to take their place in making crucial decisions about justice.
