Juror
Juror Explained
Anyone who's a member of a jury in a court of law is called a juror. When you serve as a juror, you're part of a group that hears evidence in a trial and gives a verdict. When someone gets called for jury duty, it's an opportunity to be a juror for a trial. The individuals who will serve on a jury need to be chosen at random from the pool of potential jurors, subject to any rules of the law governing the opportunity to present an objection. According to the Juries Act of 1974, there are several categories of people who are ineligible or prohibited from serving on a jury. The following wil be excused from jury service:
If you have a serious illness or disability;
If you you are a full time carer;
If you are a new parent; or
If you have a criminal conviction.
The Juror
A juror is a crucial member of a trial's jury who is tasked with impartially reviewing and interpreting the evidence presented during the proceedings. After hearing all sides of the case, the juror is tasked with rendering a verdict that is fair and just based on the evidence presented. Jurors must be impartial and use their best judgment without any external pressures or biases. Serving as a juror is a civic duty that requires one to put their personal opinions and prejudices aside and make a decision based solely on the merits of the case. The role of a juror is a vital part of the legal system and ensures that justice is served fairly and impartially.
