Jury Duty
|
|
The right to a
trial by jury is the privilege of every person in the United States, whether that person
is a citizen or not. This right is guaranteed by both the U.S. and
California Constitutions.
Trials, which
allow two or more parties to settle disputes, are decided by a judge alone
or decided by a jury. The role of the jury is to make an impartial decision
based on information presented during the criminal or civil trial.
For more
information, see the
California Jurors
web site.
