Abstract

This paper aims to review the existing literature regarding deaf persons serving as jurors. Due to the limited research in any given locale, this review will include research from countries around the world. It will then centralize focus on the United States’ legal system, identifying areas where further research is needed. Finally, this paper will propose two methods for future studies which would begin to start filling the gaps in this largely unexplored field, addressing methods and implications for each.
