Its just as subject to regulatory capture as any other system, like arbitration or the way things are now, if not more so depending on requirements for jurors.

They just need to make a perfect lie detector test already because most of our systems suck.

National Service. Young people must give 2 years to the government, an option of which is to be a professional juror. Fill the jury rolls with the innocent and idealistic, those who haven't been corrupted yet. Plus its a great head start on a profession in law/government!

If you think about it, "professional" jurors would be people that have a day job in the court, and I'm sure it'd be much easier to corrupt them with a district attorney that could easily build rapport with them.

What's the checks and balance to say they're just? What's a fireable offense? How do you rate performance on the job? These are important questions to that, which I don't think there are good answers.

Thats why you cycle half of them out every year as the young 'uns finish their service. Plus they'll be watched closely during their two years, since they're under government purview like the soldiers, urban reclamation groups, future engineer corps, etc
