A jury uses a form of decision-making known as consensus or deliberative decision-making. During deliberations, jurors discuss the evidence presented in the trial, share their perspectives, and work towards reaching a unanimous or majority agreement on the verdict. This process involves weighing the credibility of evidence, considering witness testimonies, and applying the law as instructed by the judge. Ultimately, the jury's decision must reflect a fair and impartial evaluation of the case.
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.
