Please find enclosed my article entitled, “Trial by Jury: The Erosion of Common Sense in Court.” Recently, the Springfield Legal Beat has printed articles on revising the judicial system, and I believe this article fits well with that theme. I will appreciate your considering it for publication.

The article exposes some of the weaknesses of trial by jury, namely the jury’s tendency to be easily distracted from the evidence by emotional appeals, the jury’s inability to follow the law as the judge instructs them, and the ease with which lawyers can choose jurors who will “vote their way.” Some Springfield citizens may not be aware of such intricacies in jury trials.

Thank you for considering my article. I await your response.
