180. Petersen, Institutionalized Racism, at 154, raises the issue of accent discrimination. This refers to a form of discrimination in which an accent which is not British may be incorrectly assumed to indicate that the person does not possess the level of linguistic skill to participate on a jury. Thus, many people, both citizens and possibly non- citizens, would be excluded. Petersen's hypothesis about accent discrimination in the juror selection process might be investigated empirically. If found to be present, objective tests for determining language facility could be developed for screening jurors.
