This week, the state of New York rolled out celebrities including Uma Thurman and Neil Sedaka to promote Juror Appreciation Day. But judging from the lengths people go to avoid jury duty, a better spokesperson might be Rodney Dangerfield. Why does jury duty get no respect? We discuss proposals to improve the jury system.

Guests:

Neil Vidmar, professor of law and psychology at Duke University and co-author of "American Juries: The Verdict"

Sonia Chopra, trial consultant with the National Jury Project, a professional trial consulting firm

Anne Reed, trial lawyer and jury consultant.

Ronald George, chief justice of the California Supreme Court
