Would our jury system be improved if paid professional


Our system of justice provides that a jury should be comprised of one's peers. This means that ordinary people from the community in which the crime occurred are placed in the role of determining who is right in a criminal case. The only exposure most ordinary people who would serve on a jury have to the justice system is what they see on TV, in the movies or learn as part of their everyday experiences. Would our jury system be improved if paid professional jurors (people who had specialized training in the law and whose job it would be to hear and decide cases) were used instead of ordinary people from the community? What problems might arises as a result of the use of professional jurors?
