A defence lawyer says our jury system's fundamental - despite there being scope for improvement.
Open Justice can reveal potential jurors were paid more than seven million dollars in fees and expenses in 2024 - up from 5.69 million two years prior.
The Ministry of Justice can't say how many of these people were selected for a jury.
Barrister John Munro told Mike Hosking that there's always going to be some slippage.
