I assume you know about the Jury Sunshine Project.  The immediate cause of
attention is a report and editorial by Ronald Wright on his study which
accumulated a data base of jury selection in some jurisdiction and pointed
out that African Americans are roughly twice as likely to be eliminated in
peremptory challenges than white people.  One of his two proposals for
remediation is the publication of data bases for all jury selection
proceedings as a matter of public record.  Anyway, there it is, in case it
escaped your attention.
