It has to do with the budget sequester

Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, September 24 2012 @ 10:01 AM EDT

The last time the US federal debt ceiling was raised, a bi-partisan panel was
supposed to identify budget cuts, and if they didn't, that across-the-board cuts
would be made at the end of the year. The panel didn't work, so the
across-the-board cuts are coming at the end of the year. One of the entities
receiving cuts is the federal court system. A proposal for how they could
continue operations with the lower funding level would be to not schedule civil
cases with a demand for a jury trial. Fewer bailiffs needed, no $20 per day
juror pay, etc, and for the few cases going forward without a jury, no
grandstanding for the jury, making the cases go faster.
