IL: Number of Civil Jurors to Decline from 12 to 6

Many jurisdictions have fewer civil than criminal jurors.  On Friday, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation to reduce civil juries from 12 to 6, effective June 1, 2015.  In cases filed prior to June 1, the parties are entitled to a jury of 12.  Public Act 098-132 is here.  (Via The National Law Review)
