"The
results of the study provided solid evidence that the automated jury management system,
made available by Judicial Systems, Inc., has brought about improvements and changes in
the jury selection and management process. Court professionals in selected jurisdictions
believe that since their court adopted the system: 1) the "quality" of jury
pools has improved; 2) judges and court administrators are able to get through the
selection process faster; 3) their court has saved a significant amount of money; and 4)
satisfaction levels of judges, court personnel, and citizens have improved. A
well-conceived automated system coupled with good training and technical support can have
a positive impact on the effectiveness, efficiency, and fairness of our justice system. As
many of the court professionals who participated in this study commented, the investment
in this automated system was money wisely spent."
