As a first time potential juror myself, this book helped tremendously to clear up a lot of questions I had about the process. I would highly recommend this book to all potential jurors to read before reporting to jury duty. I do agree with the reviewer who stated that the author did a good job of explaining jury nullificaton, and that in reality, most judges would probably have little patience for jurors who bring this issue up during the voir dire or deliberations process. By the way, if you're thinking of using jury nullification to get out of serving, think again!! I also think the author does an excellent job of explaining juror privacy and what jurors can do if they feel privacy is an issue for them. Of course, one has to keep in mind that all cases are different, all judges are unique and all states have different laws. Again, this book is just excellent for first time jurors. You'll definitely come away with a lot more info about the process than the average juror. For those who are looking to get out of jury duty, read page 23 of this book. It may make you feel a little bit better.
