Jury Duty
Jury duty is a civic responsibility where selected citizens serve as impartial members of a jury to evaluate evidence in legal cases. Jurors listen to witnesses, review exhibits, and deliberate to determine the guilt or innocence of a defendant in criminal cases, or liability in civil cases. The process ensures a fair trial by involving a diverse group of individuals from the community. Serving on a jury is a foundational aspect of the justice system, helping to uphold the principle that legal decisions are made collectively and objectively, based on the facts presented in court.
