Jurors ought not to be harassed by labors and expenses.

Explanation

The duty of jury service must not be made so burdensome that it deters good men from serving — efficiency in trial procedure protects the institution itself.

Where this applies

• Jury duty is taking weeks and the jurors aren't being compensated fairly.
• The trial is so burdensome that good citizens are trying to avoid jury service.
