The formation of a jury determines the success of the entire trial, ensures a fair and impartial trial by a jury, and guarantees a lawful and reasonable verdict. Unfortunately, the judicial authorities of many countries where jury trials are conducted face the technical challenge of forming a jury panel, which is caused by factors such as the population's mentality, in some cases, the reluctance of citizens to participate in jury trials, a lack of understanding of the specific nature of this legal institution, a fear of taking responsibility, or concerns about their own safety and that of their families, insufficient financial compensation for jury members and their social security, and a lack of accountability for failing to appear in court as a candidate for jury service. This article analyzes the factors that affect the problem of jury candidates' failure to appear in court, based on the experience of countries where this legal institution operates, and proposes a solution to this problem.
