Should we have Professional Jurors?

What if the people deciding your guilt or innocence weren’t everyday citizens, but trained, career jurors?

In this episode, we dive into the provocative idea of professional juries and ask whether justice is better served by experience or by representation.From concerns about bias, burnout, and institutional thinking, to arguments around consistency, efficiency, and legal literacy, we unpack what’s really at stake. Would professional jurors strengthen the system, or quietly erode one of the last pillars of civic participation?It’s a clash between tradition and reform, democracy and expertise.

By the end, you might be questioning whether the “jury of your peers” is as fair as we think.

Profile picture for David Lodge

David Lodge

David has lived a weird and wonderful life, full of adventure and mistakes (many, many mistakes).
His dream of working as a stockbroker was crushed and he found himself as a young apprentice sweeping floors in a barbershop. After 20 years of bad jokes and bullshit, he would eventually find his way to university culminating in over 15 years of work in the Higher Education sector. David’s journey from humble apprentice to global corporate traveller has seen him learn that, while people of the world have many differences, there is a common theme to how they learn, grow, succeed and achieve happiness. That pathway is through the freedom to be oneself, speak one’s mind, make mistakes, essentially, having a right, to be wrong.
