Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Thirty-one states and the federal government permanently preclude convicted felons from jury service. Lawmakers assert that such measures protect the integrity of the adjudicative process, as felons “lack the requisite probity” to serve on a jury and are “inherently biased.” However, many of the states subscribing to this practice allow felons to practice law. Thus, there exists an uncomfortable disconnect between the state’s proffered rationales for felon jury exclusion and the state’s demand that its attorneys meet a requisite level of moral character. This paper explores this disconnect by examining two legislative schemes at work in California. Specifically, this paper considers California’s constitutional provision that requires legislation categorically expelling felons from jury service, while highlighting the State Bar of California’s individualized guidelines for admission. This research questions the validity of the state’s risk assessment as it pertains to felons, noting that the acceptable level of risk is inexplicably distinct in two linked contexts.
