Abstract
In the face of the declining use of the right to trial by jury, this article argues for more action by members of the legal profession, and specifically action grounded in the principles of servant leadership. The article covers the historic roots of the right to trial by jury before turning to its importance in the areas of civic education, continuing legal education, legislative efforts, and innovative interdisciplinary courses in legal education. The article posits that members of the legal profession in all stages of their careers must defend the right to trial by jury through servant-leader based action in each of these four areas to ensure trial by jury remains a cornerstone of American Democracy.
