Jury Service In Fiji

BECAUSE of the small size of the European community, jury and assessor service, demanded by the Fiji Supreme Court, represents an intol erable burden upon the average business man in Fiji. The Suva Chamber of Com merce accordingly has appealed to the Government to amend the system so as to permit women to serve on juries in Fiji. It also was urged that educated Euronesians, Chinese and Indians, with an adequate knowledge of English, should be asked to give jury and assessor service.
