It's a right guaranteed not once, but twice in our constitution \u2013 a trial by jury. And many of us are asked to serve on them, whether we want to or not.
Whether jury duty is a responsibility you dread or relish, the trial of former President Trump in Manhattan put the spotlight on the jury selection process \u2013 one that happens every day in courthouses across the country.
We speak with legal experts about the role juries play in our justice system \u2013 and the psychology of jury selection.
We also hear from someone who's served on a jury for another high-profile case.
