THE CHARLES WARE JURY TRIAL PROJECT: Jury Trials Are Disappearing - Why ? Good or Bad News ?

www.charlesjeromeware.com  " Here to make a Difference. Tomorrow's Lawyers Today.'

Increasing case docket pressure on judges - leading to more civil settlements; stiffer sentences in criminal cases - leading to more plea bargaining; greater use of mediation and arbitration, et al., are adding up to the increasing disappearance of jury trials in the United States.  The national law firm boutique of Charles Jerome Ware, Attorneys and Counselors, LLC, with the assistance and cooperation of the American Bar Association and several law schools, has created and impanneled the Charles Ware Jury Trial Project in Maryland and the District of Columbia to study this important issue on a nation-wide basis.

In 1962, there were 5,802 civil trials in the federal courts and 5,097 criminal trials, for a total of 10,899 federal jury trials. In 1985, total federal jury trials had risen to 12,529. In 2002, however, jury trials in federal courts had dropped to 4,569 in civil trials and 3,574 in criminal trials. Thus, our federal courts actually tried fewer jury trials in 2002 than they did in 1962, despite a five-fold increase in yhe number of civil filings and more than a doubling of the criminal filings over the same time frame. In 1962, 11.5 % of federal court cases were disposed of by jury trial. By 2002, that figure had dropped to 1.8 percent
