As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, we are reminded that the American experiment was built on action. In fact, the denial of a trial by jury was one of the core grievances sparking our revolution. In the Declaration of Independence, the colonies directly accused King George III of "depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury."
This principle became a cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution and ensuring this right became one of the core responsibilities of Clerks of Court. Today, it remains one of our most important protections, ensuring that legal decisions are made by members of the community applying the law fairly and impartially.
Every time you serve on a jury, you exercise real power and carry forward a 250-year-old founding tradition grounded in liberty.
