JOOR-ee

Jury is a group of citizens selected to decide the outcome of a case. Jurors are chosen from the public and take part in certain trials. They listen to information presented in court.

In places such as the United States or the United Kingdom, juries are used in both criminal and some civil cases. Members hear witness statements, review evidence, and reach a decision together. Jurors are not judges but play an important role in some legal systems.

The jury works alongside judges and lawyers. It is one way decisions are made in court.
