Memories of the jury

Why hasn't anyone noticed this before? Apparently, two-thirds of jurors don't understand what judges say to them, even though no one is saying there are miscarriages of justice as a result.

So, judges may have to have media training. Perhaps there will be an equivalent to Sir Alan Sugar's The Apprentice boardroom:

• with unsuccessful jurors being told 'You're fired';
• splitting the jury into teams to consider verdicts with a project manager taking responsibility for getting their team to come up with the most coherent and considered argument;
• summing up being done in written briefs supplied by barrister sidekicks taking the place of Nick and Margaret/Karren; and
• successful jurors being invited to luxury accommodation to serve on other cases and being offered expensive treats for coming to correct verdicts.

In reality, I gather judges have been expecting lay people to become instant experts in understanding the law simply by the eloquence of their explanations. Crib sheets are apparently now being considered.
