Equality, representation, and justice for all: words that embody the American ethos and the values of our legal system. Representative juries are the manifestation of that ethos; yet, racial biases have skewed juries toward an underrepresentation of racial minorities. As a result, many trials can produce wrongful convictions and unfair sentences for Black people and people of color.
