Randomly selected bodies represent a novel and potentially important new form of representative—or, more precisely, the rediscovery of an ancient form (Fishkin 1991, Lieb 2004). Should these forms grow, they will bring new challenges. Because any randomly selected deliberative body will inevitably generate opinions that differ from public opinion, for example, connecting them to broader publics will require new institutions, yet to be devised (cf. Fung 2003, Warren & Pearse 2008). At worst, randomly selected bodies might become tools that elites use to legitimate policies while bypassing electoral accountability, or they might substitute for broader citizen judgment and participation (Ackerman 1991, p. 181). At best, however, such bodies might function as an important supplement to existing forms of representation. They have the potential to link the judgments of political elites much more closely to public opinion, while correcting for the inequalities introduced by the rise of selfauthorized representatives.
