Exactly.
I'd like to see "three no cause challenges. But if the prospective has been
chellenged twice before, you will have to justify the challenge, AFTER you've
made it.
The other thing I'd like, (which would actually work better under the American
system than ours, I suspect) is an experienced jury cadre. Bit tricky with the
modern obsession on random selection, but what I'd do is load the selection
system so that people who've served recently are much more likely to be
re-selected. Of course, you need to make it much easier for them to get excused
for hardship too!
At which point it is now random whether you get selected initially. It's also
pretty random whether you get selected the second time. But once you've actually
served twice the chances of being called again are fairly high. If you can have
three or four people who are serving for a second time, and maybe one who has
served several times, you have an experienced jury ...
(Several people I used to work with somehow managed to get called two or three
times - I've never been called.)
