Library research is scheduled April 16-20 Prompt for Research Document:

It is true that in 1933 in Alabama, an African-American citizen would be tried by an all-white jury composed entirely of men, and that prominent citizens could excuse themselves or be struck.  Have the rules changed?  Write a research paper explaining the process of jury selection TODAY, telling who can be chosen and who can be excused and why, specifically relating how today’s juries may reach verdicts that are fairer based on the makeup of ethnicities and women selected for jury duty.
