Famous quotes containing the words jury and/or role:

“[When asked: “If women voted, would they not have to sit on juries?”:] Many women would be glad of a chance to sit on anything. There are women who stand up and wash six days in the week at 75 cents a day who would like to take a vacation and sit on a jury at $1.50.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

“The role of the intelligence—that part of us which affirms and denies and formulates opinions—is merely to submit.”
