I didn't realise that we 'registered' for jury duty I thought it was just luck if you got chosen
I was under the impression that jury pool selection is from electoral roll, didn't know you had to specifically register?

That march down Sydney Road was impressive.. hopefully. that was a cross section of the jury pool. There has to be some among that crowd who have registered themselves for jury duty, its something we all forget to do, or hesitate to do, or hope someone else does, but we all are it, frankly. I'd lived in my present abode in Sydney for years before I suddenly realised I hadnt registered for jury duty, it just never crossed my mind, until I attended a trial, and realised that it was made up of you and me's, and no one else.

Is that your own personal letter?

this is now the case in NSW, in times past one had to register as available , I checked it up for current procedure, so my apologies for relying on past experience there, but now you make a submission to the court should you be called up to explain your unavailibility or any other circumstance that inhibits doing jury duty, how it works in other states I dont know, probably the same.
There has been a bit of argy bargy regarding the age of jurors, that is, 18yr olds on juries, etc.. ( being on the electoral role at 18) .. a tendency to challenge 18yr old potential jurors, 18-25, actually, but this is an ongoing discussion, as it stands currently, you can be called up at that age, but you most likely will be challenged, simply on that basis. There is talk , and has been a lot of talk, re narrowing down the Summons to Jury Duty act to bring it up to a higher age bracket, even though one is on the electoral role at that age, it goes back and forth all across the Jurisprudence year, round and round , up and down, and as it stands, the matter is usually resolved by the parties concerned re challenges to that particular juror , on the age basis.
Still. It was heartening to see the current jury pool marching down Sydney road, making a sort of silent statement that was , as I say, impressive to the maximum.
Maybe someone with Aust criminal legal system verification could clarify, but I would have thought that having participated in a march like yesterday's may possibly be a defence counsel basis for preclusion from jury selection? Irrespective of the potential juror's avowed ability to look at the evidence impartially, a defence counsel may be able to say that the potential juror already had preconceived ideas? My thoughts only.

Well. it if was a red flag for a potential juror, surely Ken Lay would have pointed this out? no hesitation in calling for silence on blogs etc... what's the difference? there is no difference.. its the same outcome. People get together, either electronically or in actual time and space, doing the same thing. One is ok, one is not. NO lawyers complained about the march, no judges, not the Mayor of Brunswick, the Premier of Victoria, not a peep re 'disabling ' a potential juror. Yet there they were for all to see right across the state, ( further jury pool ) the nation and world wide apparently.
IMO the whole thing about the size of the march is that it's a representation of the thoughts of many other people who couldn't or didn't go. A graphic represntation of the undercurrent among Freda and Fred Bloggs who seem to have had enough of the violence. I reckon Victoria's got plenty of people to choose a jury from and all the questions about any particular ideals or morals that may prevent an impartial decision will be made at jury selection. MOO
