The Grand jury is the jury that issues indictments in federal felony cases. Grand juries are only used in the United States.
Trial Juries
US District Courts.
No. Only trial courts use juries. The job of the jury is to determine issues of fact. The job of a judge is to determine issues of law. After the trial court is over there may be an appeal. The appellate court will review issues of law. They do not review issues of fact except for extreme cases. Supreme courts will hear cases in which there are complex issues of law that need review or clarification.
Yes, the noun jury is a countable noun, the plural form is juries. Example: We have several juries hearing cases at any given time.
(in the US) There are no limitations on their usage. Juries can be used in all civil court proceedings if one is requested.
A criminal jury hears a criminal trial. A civil jury hears a civil trial. Usually both are taken from the same pool and contain the same number of members, but this may vary by jurisdiction.
a few highly publicized cases prove that the jury is not fair. not sure but thats my answer
The federal government and about half of the states.
Used mostly in law schools where, for court room practice, law students are given cases to argue in front of mock (fake) juries and mock (fake) judges.
