The decision of the jury is called a verdict. The decision of a judge is called her ruling or holding.
A Verdict
The verdict
Verdict (typically refers to a jury decision) or judgment(final decision of the court).
In a court of law, the final decision is typically made by the judge if it is a bench trial (no jury). In cases with a jury, the final decision is made collectively by the jury based on the evidence presented and the law as instructed by the judge.
Generically, the "entry level" court is called a trial court. There, a judge or jury determines facts from the evidence presented (testimony, documents, other physical evidence, inferences from other evidence). If it is bench trial, the judge applies applicable law to the facts and makes a determination based upon which party has the burden of proof. If a jury trial, the judge instructs the jury on the law to apply, and the jury goes through a similar process until a decision is reached.

No. Where the jury acts, the jury acts as trier of fact only. The court routinely instructs the jury as to principles of law and their application, but the court, not the jury, determines the applicable law and how it is to be applied. In this, the jury has no discretion.
