Research & Planning: Jury Research

Me and Nathan are using a court trial in our teaser trailer, therefore we thought we should research some information about Jury services and take note about them. We have found that:

• There are usually 12 civilians used in a jury and they will carry out the verdict in a court case.
• A jury trial  is a legal proceeding in which a Jury makes a decision about a certain crime taken place.
• England and Wales have the same legal system yet other countries differ.
• Minor criminal cases are heard without a Jury in the Magistrate's Courts.
• Serious offences may be carried out in the Crown Court before a Jury.
• All Juries consist of people between 18–70 years of age.
• Members for the Jury are selected at random from the register of voters.
