Some 72 percent of respondents in a recent survey said they would be willing to act as jurors if a quasi-jury system being contemplated by the government is introduced -- as long as the trial did not run longer than three days.
Only 27 percent of the 417 company employees who responded said they would be willing to serve as jurors if the trial ran up to a week, according to the survey conducted by the Civil Society for Justice by Lay Judges, which released the preliminary results Wednesday.
Questionnaires were mailed to 3,000 workers and managers at 75 randomly selected firms. The group said it hopes to release the full result later this year.
