I have been on juries twice. In both instances, I was surprised at how a group of ordinary people could collectively arrive at a sound decision. If done properly, the jury system works reasonably well, most of the time.

There are two lawyers on this jury. This morning during the discussion on Fox, they speculated that the other jurors might ask the lawyers for advice on understanding things.

This made me wonder--if this happens, can the lawyers bill the other jurors for their advice afterwards?
