Who are these Millennials (Generation Y) Born between 1977 and 1998 75 million strong Raised by helicopter parents Abundantly self-confident Believe themselves to be highly valuable Extremely focused on themselves Grew up with little unstructured time Possess a can do attitude Need constant feedback Little patience for ambiguity These are your 18-37 year old jurors today! 2
18 year olds today were born in 1996 Bill Clinton was in the White House University of Kentucky won 6 th NCAA Basketball Championship O.J. Simpson Civil Trial began George Burns, Gene Kelly, and Spiro Agnew died The English Patient, Jerry Maguire, and Sling Blade released USB, MP3 and Flash technology were released These phrases have little meaning to them: Roll down that window Don t touch that dial You sound like a broken record Star Wars Trilogy 3
The Brain is Different Visually acute Spatially aware Effective decision makers Poor memorization skills However, Don t forget the Digital Divide Not All Millennials have access to technology Household income Educational attainment Community type Disability 4

On a scale of 1-3, how would you rate your court s processes, considering the needs and expectations of younger jurors? 1 If it s not broken, don t fix it 2 We think we do an OK job 3 Younger jurors think we are #awesome! 9
Customer Service is a key factor in business growth. When a customer is well served, they will advertise through word of mouth, which in return results into business growth. For the court that s growth in public trust and confidence. 10
Consumer technology can be defined as providing customer service: When the customer wants access (time) Where the customer wants access (home, work, mobile device) How the customer wants it (using the web, IVR, voice recognition, smartphones, facebook, tweeting, etc.. ) 11
Technology is making progress possible From the citizen s viewpoint, this progress is expected 12

The law does not respond quickly to new conditions. --Roscoe Pound 14
We want to use technology to improve the service we provide to our jurors, make the best use of their time (and ours). While at the same time we must be careful that the use of technology by serving jurors does not interfere with the administration of justice. 15
Jurors aren t the only Millennials you need to support Court staff Jury Administrator Clerks Judges Attorneys As new generations of users come from all directions, technology needs to meet their needs too This allows all participants to better serve the public 16
On a scale of 1-3, how would you rate your court s use of technology in the area of jury management? 1 We are woefully behind 2 We are fairly current 3 We are on the cutting edge! 17

On a scale of 1-3, what is your level of familiarity with the JTC Standards Working Group development of National Standards for Jury Management Systems Requirements? 1 I had no idea 2 I am aware, but have not read them 3 I have read them (and they are awesome!) 30
Jury Management System Requirements National Version is an expansion of a document originally prepared by the NCSC for the Minnesota Office of State Court Administration under a State Justice Institute Grant A blank slate approach was used to capture a complete set of next generation requirements for Jury Management Automation Incorporates both recommended practices and target measures of efficiency Can be applied to both in-hour development projects and vendor solution procurements 31
High level business capabilities were mapped out 32
Leverage the Court Technology Framework 33
All aspects of Jury Management Automation are covered From the juror s perspective, focus is on convenience Jurors do not mind serving if they don t feel like it is an inefficient use of, or even worse, a waste of their time Systems should accommodate varieties of communications Web IVR E-mail TXT Phone 34
35
Most people would rather go to the dentist than be selected for jury duty For many, this is their only interaction with the courts Biggest complaint? It was a waste of my time! Therefore, improving trust and confidence comes from valuing jurors time and accommodating their communications needs through technology, efficiency, and best practices 36
