Jury trial

A jury trial is a trial where a judge or judges are supplemented by a jury, made up of citizens who are usually randomly selected and are generally not justice professionals. Juries are most commonly associated with common law jurisdictions. However some civil law jurisdictions also involve juries or lay assessors.
