In 1977, David Kairys authored a study on the underrepresentation of African-Americans on juries across the United States.
The study examined why, nearly two decades after the start of the civil rights movement in America, African-Americans were still proportionately far less likely to serve on juries than their white peers.
When Kairys was shown the recent Iacobucci report on underrepresentation of First Nations people on Ontario’s jury rolls, released Feb. 26, he noted that the parallels to the work he and others had done in America were striking.
