• Each chair is unique, symbolizing the individuals on a jury and the individuality of its members.
• The "Defendant" chair is designed to look as generic as possible symbolizing that anyone could be a defendant. It is placed on the corner to encourage passers-by to sit and “face the jury.”
• "Defendant" chair has an unobstructed view of all of the "Juror" chairs.
• All the chairs are painted the same color, unifying them but without reference to race religion or politics. The bright red color provides a striking contrast against the green grass and the cool gray concrete building.

• The “Juror” chairs are at least 6 feet high. They sit on
grassy mounds ranging from 2-˝ feet to 3 feet high and
up to 30 feet in diameter.
• The seats of the chairs are at least 3 feet above the top of the mounds. This allows visitors to climb on the chairs but discourage “hanging out.”
• The grassy mounds provide a soft, safe surface for children.
• This piece was inspired by the artist's experiences sitting on a jury for two weeks.
