Depending on the laws and practice of the state, MINOR cases (civil and criminal) may be tried by as few as 6 jurors, although in my experience 7 is more customary, so as in order to avoid a deadlock situation. Felony cases and major civil suits are still tried in front of 12 member juries however.
