Jury Duty Appreciation Week
Help us show our appreciation for the work of jurors.
Jury Duty Appreciation Week 6th– 12th May 2024 aims to:
- Thank all jurors for completing this important role
- Raise the profile of the importance of jury duty amongst the public
- Encourage the provision of specialist wellbeing support for jurors
Jurors are such a valuable part of the criminal justice system. Our ongoing research highlights this can be a difficult role. Jury Duty Appreciation Week is our chance to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all jurors – past, present and future – for your tremendous hard work and dedication in creating a safe and fair society for us all.

Jury Duty Appreciation Week is a time to honour the work of jurors who play a key part in our justice system. Our research shows that for some, jury duty can be a challenging experience. It is an opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to the hard work of all jurors who strive to uphold principles of fairness and equality before the law.
