\u00a0<\/strong>Understanding the Citizens Jury Method<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Citizens Jury is one of the methods in the Consulting Workshop Series that derives a decision that is representative of average citizens who has been well informed on the issue.\u00a0 It is most applicable when one or more alternatives to a problem need to be selected the various competing interests are arbitrated.<\/p>\n

The Citizens Jury can lead to concrete action when this is directly linked to a decision making process.<\/p>\n

The Citizens Jury Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Making the necessary preparation is the initial step towards organizing a Citizens Jury. While it may not be the main event, it is most critical as it contributes highly to the successful conduct of the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preparation<\/strong>. The Preparation phase sets the groundwork for the effective conduct of the Citizens Jury Event. Each step in the Preparation is essential, extensive it may be. The Preparation includes recruitment of personnel and setting the tasks, jury selection, juror recruitment, establishing the charge, developing the agenda and selecting and recruiting the expert witnesses.<\/li>\n
  2. Citizens Jury Event<\/strong>. This is the very core of the over-all undertaking \u2013 the Citizens Jury Event. It is the main event where deliberation and people\u2019s participation in policy decision are undertaken. Facilitated by 2 moderators, the event is done in 3 stages \u2013 the Introductory Day, the Hearing Days, and the Deliberation. The Deliberation is the heart of the Citizens Jury Model.<\/li>\n
  3. Follow-up<\/strong>. The Follow-up is the final phase of the Citizens Jury. It focuses on measuring the results of the event. It also ensures proper documentation and dissemination of the final output. This includes the evaluations, the final news conference, the debriefing, and the dissemination of the final report.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The preparation of the Citizens Jury is extensive. To ensure a systematic flow<\/a> of the Citizens Jury, timelines are essential.\u00a0 Timelines begin after a contract or agreement has been signed and funded for the conduct of the Citizens Jury. Being able to select the appropriate timeline in structuring the Citizens Jury can contribute much to its successful conduct.<\/p>\n
