Juries are specifically designed for the issue or problem at hand. Here’s a few reasons why a Citizens Jury might vary:
Number of Jury participants
Our Juries typically average around 18-24 people, but we’ve also hosted Juries, such as the Twin Cities World Wide Views on Climate & Energy, with 70 participants.
Number of Juries per project
Sometimes we run multiple Juries, with the same charge, in order to compare results. For instance, we designed two Juries in Manchester and Coventry, UK, which both explored artificial intelligence just a few days apart.
Jury topic
The topic and charge varies from Jury to Jury. Head to our projects to see how Citizens Juries have explored rural energy, patient health record privacy, local government structure, and more.
Target Jury community
Citizens are selected to participate in a Jury through stratified random sampling, often based on the age, race, gender, education, and socioeconomic background statistics of the target population.
Final report audience
Once the Jurors make a recommendation, we compile their work into a final report to send to our project partners or clients. We may also publish the recommendations online or send to organizations, institutions, policymakers, and more that may be interested in the findings.
