The Jury System
When people are being treated unfairly, despite their best efforts to resolve matters by talking, sometimes their last resort - and only real option - is going to court to resolve things. I have seen many, many cases where, no matter how hard we tried, we just couldn't settle things by compromise. Juries offer the fairest way known to resolve the hard problems that we sometimes face.
Juries have the ability to judge each individual case on its own merits. They can see who is credible, and who is not. If we lived in a world without disagreement, then there would be no need for judges and juries to reach decisions. But our world is not a perfect one, and the civil justice system - warts and all - is the bedrock of our freedoms and liberties.
