Property or tax-paying qualifications are sometimes a prerequisite for membership of the judiciary. [De facto] economic barriers to access to the judiciary also exist; in particular, lack of finance limits access to the requisite educational processes. Property, tax-paying or salary qualifications are also often a prerequisite for jury service. As a result of these qualifications for being a juror, jury service is largely confined to the middle and upper classes while the poorer classes are often not represented.
