Abstract

Support is growing for increased use of six-member juries in civil cases. Presently, a jury with less than twelve members is available by stipulation in Washington superior courts, and the possibility that a six-member panel will become compulsory in the future is enhanced by positive reports from those experimenting with a mandatory six-member jury.
