Collins,a Brooke Miller Gialopsosb a Seattle University b Seattle University ABSTRACT AND ARTICLE INFORMATION Using survey and demographic data collected within Washington Courts from 2016-2017, this research sought to identify whether there are gender, racial/ethnic, and/or sexual orientation disparities that exist within jury pools in Washington State Courts. Results show that Black, Native/Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), including Asian Americans and Hispanic/Latinx Americans, are underrepresented in nearly all Washington jury pools. Findings also indicate that BIPOC women were underrepresented in all courts within this analysis. Further findings point towards differences by race and sexual orientation and may indicate underrepresentation among all racial categories. There are clear patterns across all courts included in the present study that show that marginalized groups, in particular BIPOC women, may experience significant hurdles to participate in the jury process. Policy and further research recommendations are discussed.
