The time has come to scrap jury trials in civil matters, says Toronto critical injury lawyer John McLeish.
“The jury system has outlived its usefulness,” McLeish, a partner with McLeish Orlando LLP, tells AdvocateDaily.com. “Trials take longer, they’re more expensive, and the results are more uncertain.”
The vast majority of civil jury trials involve personal injury matters, McLeish says, and it is insurers who almost always elect trial by jury.
