Standard 3.2 requires that trial courts do their utmost to encourage equality, fairness, and integrity by ensuring that individuals called for jury duty are representative of the population from which the jury was drawn. Standard 3.3 focuses on what many consider to be the essence of justice. The standard requires that the decisions and actions of trial courts be based on legally relevant factors consistently applied in all cases. Furthermore, those decisions and actions should be based on individual attention to each case. In accordance with the call for integrity in court performance, Standard 3.4 urges trial courts to render decisions that clearly address the issues and specify how compliance with their decisions can be achieved.
Clarity is a prerequisite for both compliance and enforcement.
Standard 3.5 encourages trial courts to assume responsibility for the enforcement of their orders. Finally, Standard 3.6 requires the prompt and accurate preservation of trial court records.

Both the accuracy of the records and reliable access to them are fundamental to the achievement of the purposes of trial courts. Overview of Measures .
