American Justice System

The justice system here in the United States is one that many people have a hard time understanding. It is a system that isn't easily accessible for the everyday person, even though that's exactly what it was suppose to be.The number one problem that I have with our legal system is the use of a jury. The idea of having a jury of your peers is one that seems fair and just from the outside, but in my opinion, is just the opposite. The truth of the matter is jurors are just ordinary people who are entrusted with the most valuable commodity in the world-another person's freedom, or in some cases, their life. It is human nature for people to have opinions and therefore, pre-conceived notions. I know that the juror screening process is supposed to weed out potential jurors with biases or other flaws but I see this as impossible. Appearance and presentation can be an overwhelming factor in a courtroom. If a person accused of something walks into a courtroom with messy hair and ripped clothes on, a person is more inclined to think of them as guilty than if they had walked in dressed in a suit and tie with their hair neatly combed. Most people will deny that this is true but it is an impossible act to deny. We make preconcept


ions all the time whether we realize it or not and just because someone has made it through the screening process and been selected as a juror, doesn't mean they don't do the same.

This is the first time I have ever really sat down and thought about our legal system and what I like and dislike about it. I guess it is something that a lot of people take for

granted because it is accepted that that's the way it is and it will never change. I also think Americans are somewhat arrogant regarding our justice system judging by the "best in the world" label it has been given. I guess I really have mixed emotions about our system, although the flaws that I have mentioned make it one in which the odds are in favor of the accused. This can be a double-edged sword but I'm sure if I ever end up on the other side of the fence, rather than looking at it from a future lawyers perspective, I will be thankful that it is the way that it is.

Up to this point I'm sure I have come across as anti-American justice system but I definitely am not. I think the greatest part of our system is the fact that a person is innocent until proven guilty, although most people don't see it that way. An example is the Ray Lewi
