What are the disadvantages of one-day/one-trial?
Some disadvantages include: Compared with courts that have longer terms for jury service, courts that use a one-day/one-trial system have to summon greater numbers of persons for jury service; Compared with longer jury service terms, one-day/one-trial systems have increased administrative costs for postage, forms, and court staff; One-day/one-trial systems necessarily preclude the development of seasoned jurors or the ability to track juror performance on prior trials; One-day/one-trial systems require courts to conduct juror orientation more frequently; and Inefficient use of juror time by courts using one-day/one-trial systems can result in a wasted day and a poor jury experience for the person summoned for jury service.
