Reform of Jury Selection in Iowa Bar Meeting Discussed
The Iowa State Bar association plans a main theme on jury selection reform at its annual meeting. Wm McNett of Ottumwa leads the law reform committee which will report on the need to change how jurors are chosen. Leading Iowa lawyers say juries are the weakest link in the legal system due to poor juror quality and limited comprehension of cases. The discussion aims to produce a plan for better results to be sent to the legislature.
