, justice shall you pursue."_{Deuteronomy 16:20}

"One of the most important functions any jury can perform in making a selection is to maintain a link between contemporary community values and the penal system -- a line without which the determination of punishment could hardly reflect 'the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society." -- Witherspoon v. Illinois , 391 U.S. 510, 519 n.15 (1968). See also Spaziano v. Florida , 468 U.S. 447, 483 (1984) (Stevens, J., concurring in part, dissenting in part).

"The purpose of a jury is to guard against the exercise of arbitrary power -- to make available the commonsense judgment of the community as a hedge against the over-zealous or mistaken prosecutor and in preference to the professional or perhaps overconditioned or biased response of a judge."
-- Justice Byron White, Taylor v. Louisiana, 419 US 522, 530 (1975)
"The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts." -- Justice Samuel Chase, 1804 (original signatory of the Declaration of Independence)
