What Is Jury Duty? | Your Role as a Juror
ฝัง

- In this video, discover what to expect if you are called up for jury duty. Your role as a juror is an important one - you need to carefully consider all the evidence presented to you during the triaI and, together with your fellow jurors, decide if the defendant is guilty or not guilty.
We first explain how jurors are selected and the exemptions that mean you are not eligible for jury duty. If you have been selected, you are expected to attend court every day of your duty period. We take you through the fines you can occur if you miss your jury duty, how long jury duty is expected to last, and what you will be doing on a day-to-day basis.
You will see the inside of a courtroom so you can familiarise yourself with the space. We guide you through who's who in a courtroom, from the judge to the court usher, and where you will sit in the jury box. We explain the juror's oath - which you repeat to be sworn in as a juror - and the options if you do not want to swear on a holy book.
In the trial, you will first listen to the case for the prosecution and hear any witnesses be called and cross-examined. Then it is the turn of the defence, who represent the defendant. When all the evidence has been given, the prosecution and defence will present their closing arguments directly to you. The judge will summarise the case and explain what is expected of you.
As a jury, you and your fellow jurors will leave the court to deliberate on a verdict. During this time, you will discuss the evidence and cast individual votes on whether you think the defendant is guilty or not guilty. You must not discuss the details of the case with anyone other than your fellow jurors and you must not search the internet for any information on the case. It is a serious offence to reveal anything discussed in the jury room, and can result in a fine or even a prison sentence.
You are expected to reach a unanimous verdict, but we explain what happens if you do not all reach the same verdict. We will take you through exactly what happens during and after the verdict is delivered.
If you are a juror who has been called for jury duty in the UK, we encourage you to watch this video and pay close attention to what is expected of you. It's an important legal obligation but we are aware it can be disruptive to your day-to-day life. We are grateful for your participation and cooperation.

This is a helpful video, especially the reminder to take the summons letter and ID with you, as this isn't stated on the summons.
I will most certainly not consider my decision carefully, I will definitely immediately say guilty and suggest the death sentence even though it’s been abolished
😂😅😂
Looooool
I've just finished my first jury service and sat on two trials. I was a bit anxious to start with, most people are but it was a rewarding experience ultimately.
Guess I'll be doing jury duty this month!
I'll be back commenting when I'm done!
omg please do i’m so intrigued by what it’s like.
So are you done yet or not??
I’m so excited for jury duty!!! I’ve been waiting for this my entire life, and I get the letter. I can’t wait to hear the case!
I have jury service tomorrow guys
Did I understand that right at 9:55? I cannot research the trial I am a juror in, or any other trial listed at that court via the internet?
The prosecution and defence will give you all of the information you need to know about the trial. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, which cannot be relied upon.
Turned 18 in January and was summoned for jury duty in April. Love my chances
Unlucky lad

Metoo :(

Welcome to adulthood, pal!
I fucking don’t want to do this shit !
I found this very interesting and well presented. Thank you.
The fact that it will interfere with my university and that doesnt count as a valid reason for excursion is absurd. All I can do is reschedule within a year time frame, at which point if I'm further inconvenienced what then?? Mental.
I agree, that’s what I’m most upset about, I’m missing my first week back
Surprised to hear that. I was summoned when I was at uni. I must admit it was about 3 weeks before my exams, and I had to submit projects. I asked my tutor for a letter explaining the situation and I was excused.
Ive got severe anxiety and struggle in social situations plus on medication that i have to take constantly. I cant handle those situations
Get proof.. and claim you can't do it because of your anxiety.
When filling out forms, mention this. Get supporting letter evidence that you have these conditions from the Dr and agencies you are dealing with.
boo hoo - man up FFS
@@wellwonky that's not nice at all. People have conditions where they get really stressed and upset and I'm a court room that's not appropriate to start crying or being super stress and throwing things around.
It's like telling a person I'm a wheelchair to man up and start walking.
@@AngelDelight69 a person in a wheelchair has no choice (d’uh) - some princess saying oh I’m stressed as I’m in a room is just a look at me pansy. World is full of them and I won’t pander to their bs- they either get on with it or f*ck off and do the world a favour and take a load of pills.
Load of woke touchy feely c*nts
Maaaaan I just got a letter and I’m only 18 dammit. I didn’t even know this was a thing. I’m just a child! Save me. And I have so much anxiety 😭
tell your doctor you are to stressed out for it, they will recommend you dont do jury service , tell the court in writing or e-mail .giving your doctors contact details and you'll be discharged.
@nunchaku101 depends, if you work you can get out of work lol
If I get picked then they better give me written instructions of everything I need to do because I don't want to fuck anything up. I have horrible memory when given to me verbally. Plus I have social anxiety.
yes this is what scares me the most about being on a jury. same problem as you. I was called up once, waited several hours in a room only to be told the case was settled and they don't need us. Now I've been called up again and I'm hoping that this case also is settled before it goes to a jury
Don't worry about poor memory - I am currently on a jury in a criminal trial and they provide each of us with printouts of all relevant documents and photos. Every word that is spoken by each person is taped and we may ask to hear those tapes later. Additionally, we are allowed to make our own notes with the pens and paper that they supply to us.
Of course they do
I be scared to mess anything up if I was on jury service, I know you can pass a note to the clerk to hand to the judge but if you are one of these people who are asking lots of questiosn or unsure you probably be asked to leave
Just been summoned going to lose loads of money doing this....that's what's pissing me off the most and making me feel like I can't be arsed to do it
The jury system is the cornerstone of our justice system. It is ordinary people that decide a person's guilt or innocence, and is an important civic duty, whether we like it or not. As a juror you could find an innocent person guilty, and that may well have serious negative consequences to that person, all because you 'can't be arsed'. You may also let a dangerous person free, to inflict more pain on some unfortunate person, or persons. Again, just because you 'cannot be arsed.' It can be stressful and unpleasant, but it is important.
I have been summoned and as a self-employed person it is going to be disruptive and I will be out of pocket but I believe it is my duty as a citizen to do this to the best of my ability.
Two weeks full time unpaid work for someone who retired 9 years ago. I hope I can stay awake. The tone of the letters isn't conducive to cooperation, is it?
You can get paid you can claim that money in case you are missing your work
@@sobeeya I'm retired. My time is worth nothing, apparently.
Shoutout to the dude in the CM Punk t-shirt.
I have extreme anxiety. When I got the letter I broke down and had a huge panic attack. I can’t be around a group of people and make decisions like this or I’ll break down in front of everybody. Killing me honestly
tell them this on the form i did and i was excused or tell your doctor i now it really scared me i felt exactly the same it is wrong to put people through this all the best julie
was wondering because I know several people with learning difficulties who have not had their disability recognised and can be called up for Jury service. So what happens if it a complicated case and a member of the jury says the end "That he/she did "Not understand the case, that it might as well have been hold in a mixture of Hungarian and Mongolian as far as he./she was concerned because he/she has not got the slightest idea what the case was about."
Honestly what just happened to me now
Did you get out of it??? This happened to me and I wrote back with medication boxes and letter explaining why I can not do it. Also said the medication will effect my decision making.
XxGamerGirlxX 206 I just got out of it, I put because of my chronic fatigue syndrome I would find it difficult and also wrote because of transport so it is possible to get out of it but you do have to have a legit reason
The only crime is the video being in 480p
I literally came into the uk like 3 yrs ago and got sent this.... like how? I'm not even a uk citizen..... can i use this to reject and prove invalidity?
Yes, read the form, it literally says you have to have lived in the UK for a period of at least 5 years to be eligible.
Some pathetic comments here. If someone doesn't want to do jury duty they should never us the NHS, never claim any State benefits, never us the police or fire service, never use public roads, never vote and never expect to be treated as a citizen in a _more or less_ civilised country.
And why are so many Americans commenting on this video which about the British jury system - aimed basically for people who have been summoned to do jury service.
.
Dont register to vote and you can't be called up. You can only be called up if you are on the electoral list
The adversarial system which uses jury trials is deeply flawed. You're an excellent example of why we should do away with jury trials. I would not want an idiot like you serving on a jury if I was a defendant.
Stupid why force random people to do something they don’t want to do
Coastliner700 well if someone is really unable to do it like business, responsibilities, aboard, education then you don’t have to do it, it just needs a valid reason
I'm getting payed for my service
coz no fucker would do it otherwise
Coastliner700 Because the alternative is precisely what you complain about. Or do you want someone to come round to your house, break in, arrest you, lock you up and throw away the key just because you disagree with the law? Think it through before calling it stupid. It isn't.
That is tyranny, so you are going to hold a gun to my head and force me to go to jury duty? and under the 4th amendment you cannot go into my home without a valid warrant, and under the constitution section 3 "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". I do not consent to jury duty and thus they cannot make me do it. leg.wa.gov/LawsAndAgencyRules/Pages/constitution.aspx
Why !!!I don’t want to do it can someone explain to me please
Explain what exactly?
@@Lollilou2 I don’t want to go 😢
@@casillastorres722 Same I got better things I could be doing with my time
then don’t go and just pay a $100 fine and go on about your day i doubt they’ll arrest u but they can but it’ll only be like minutes or hours 💀
The UK courts rely on people who don't want to be there to try and give an honest verdict hopefully helping to protect the innocent and convict the guilty . If we left it only to those who would too eagerly serve there would be no balance left at all in justice.
And if that dose not work for you,, think about this.
Who would stand up to protect you from wrong or those who would do you harm should you need it. If you would not stand up for others why should they. and yes I am one of those who dose not want to go but will !
A minority of countries use trial by jury. The countries with the best legal systems do not use jury trials.
I was summoned for jury duty, and im panicking so bad. I have very bsd social anxiety, and cant handle being by myself without someone i dont know. Im very shy and cant handle being in front of people 😭
Sucks for you, but guess what...it might be good for you. Stand up and exercise those "demons"
It may be good for you, don't go about it negatively, try and be positive, try to learn something new from this experience.
(I say this because I can relate, and these are things I would try to exercise, myself)
Good luck.
I really want to be called to jury duty, I feel it would be an interesting thing to be called to
I've heard people struggle to stay awake because it's very long and drawn out.
you need to get out more then
You must have nothing better to do with your time

How so exactly?
Umm, I have work, and they don't pay me. Also, I have school. Like I have the time to judge idiots getting into trouble. They choose when and what time I HAVE TO REPORT. It's so dumb
We all have to work. In my area judges are pretty good about excusing people if they are attending school while also working. Reporting when the courts need jurors is just the way it works. The only way to have a chance at fair trials for people is to have citizen juries. Not everything is about you.

Yeah, on the word prosecution.
they should explain what grounds you may be challenged.. give examples
gemkaifan thank you for explaining
That is incorrect BB Gem. You don't know anything about the juror when they are swearing in so how would you know if they are racist? You can challenge them if you know them. Then they can't sit on that trial.
Yo what's up jury gang.
Before I moved house my original jury service was in Stoke. I was looking forward to that because it would've been the quickest jury service ever. Basically everyone in Stoke is a criminal so they were probably guilty anyway.
I start tomorrow. Would rather grate my knob with a century old cheese grater
Why man you get out of work 🤣
I will be a judge in my next life. This life am a juror only.
Dammit I knew I should've slept in and not voted.
Niko Bellic same here. I voted for the first time in 2016. And now I have to go.
Ik I just had too applied to vote
I will never vote.
You don’t need to vote to get selected. If you have a Driver license you can get picked that way.
They force you to go there to hear. bullshit.
2:18 CM Punk?
lol yeah Nice shirt. He is also going on Jury trial in a month against WWE doctor. Lets see who wins.
if your considered for a dury hearing,is this bad in any way?,this is my first time?,what goes on during this process and the reason why im picked? thanks
Most of your questions are answered in the video unless you're *not* British. If you're not then why watch this video?
.
Those fake wigs are ridiculous. Why even wear them? Are they magical and supposed to help with "fair decision making" or something or just to look ridiculous and funny? 😂
they are to give the idiots who participate in this medievil pantomime some sense of importance - as if one person can tell another what to do - then call it a law - no one owns the world, it's shared by us all
Basically here because I don’t want to be fined £1000😂
This one contradicts the one in NI which I had assumed would be the same law. Jurors would never be called out anywhere by name, only by number. 1:37
Jurors in Australia are called by name and number during jury selection, but thereafter just by juror number.
SparksWillFly I have served on the jury in Scotland where they called out jurors citation numbers and full name in front of the accused upon selection. I was surprised by this but apparently it is standard procedure.
The electoral register. Does this mean someone who isn't registered to vote never gets summoned for jury service? Too bad the jury boxes in the USA don't have a surface on which to take notes. It is interesting that the judge may accept a jury decision which is not unanimous. All criminal cases must have a unanimous vote in the USA while civil cases are a simple or 2/3rd majority. Also different in the USA is that we can be called every year for jury duty.
If you are not registered to vote, you will not be called upon for Jury Service. In general, everyone of voting age (aged 16 or over) will be on the electoral register. There is no legal requirement to be on the electoral register unless you have been asked by your local authority but decline (you can be fined). In some cases, you may be exempted from the electoral register (these are mostly in related to health problems though there may be other justifications for exemption). In the UK there are two versions of the Electoral Register, the Full version and the Open version. The full version is used for the Voting Register, for the prevention and detection of crime and for validating applications for financial services. The open version of the electoral register is something that can be purchased, but is also something an electorate can request to be removed from (without impacting the right of that person to vote).
If you were not present on the electoral register, your life in UK would be quite complicated. No credit whatsoever. No mobile phone contract. Pre-paid electricity meters only. Insane premiums for car insurance... So no, usually everybody who is eligible (UK, EU and Commonwealth citizens) WANTS to be on the electoral register. The problem is that many people - students in particular - may not live at the registered address, which may cause some confiusion.
will a court provide any food?
Yes. Free lunch up to a certain value. Tasty and adequate quantity though you can buy more.
This video was very insightful, I am looking foward to my jury service which is beginning soon.
I am in the USA, and many of the things they are saying in the UK are the same here. I always like the wigs though, that doesn't happen here LOL! I was interested in the statement that in some cases, the judge may not require a unanimous verdict. Is that in the example of civil cases? That is the case here in California that civil cases can be decided with a 10 to 2 verdict, but criminal cases must be unanimous. It's criminal cases were allowed to not be unanimous, I think it would greatly reduce the number of mistrials we have here in the USA. Again, we should be learning from the mother country actually
Very few civil trials in England have juries now, such as libel/slander/ civil fraud. Judges expect unanimous verdicts if possible, but can agree to accept a 10-2 majority of 'guilty'. Scotland has 15-member juries and only a simple majority is needed to convict; it's also famous for the alternative acquittal verdict of 'not proven'.
if it lasts longer?Is it the next day ?
I’m trying to interpret your question, assuming your comment is about the duration of duty, yes you’ll spend more than one day to hear all the evidence and details of the defense plan. It won’t be a “fast food” operation since you are dealing with someone’s future. You shouldn’t slack or cut corners, if you’re on the other side you’d want them to genuinely engage
When planning their lists courts routinely guesstimate how long each trial is likely to last. Jury summonses are for ten days, so assuming you are then selected you could end up serving anything from just one day to the full ten. Very complex trials can last much longer, for which court staff presumably ask around in advance for jurors able to serve more than their standard ten days. SFAIK every overrunning trial always resumes on the court's next sitting day, so when planned to finish on a Friday it will resume on the following Monday. But if you are serving on a trial that overruns within the ten days that you would have blocked out already, that's no problem!
To be honest, I have a lot of mixed feelings. I just became eligible to be selected for jury duty and a part of me is actually interested. Sure it could be long and boring, but as someone with a psychology major, I think it would be really great experience to have to think long and hard about what might be going on inside the mind of a criminal to be able to commit a crime, whether it be a large scale one or just a small offense. Sure I'll miss school, miss work, miss time with my family, but I think it'd be good life experience and force me to toughen up on the inside. That is if I get chosen because the chances are pretty small and I could even just be sent away after the interview. Who knows?
I feel the same way
If we are obligated to go in the U.S. then i guess we havent be living in a free country like we were told we were and btw im going next week missing a day at my job which i think i would probably sleep through the whole proces
Turned 18 in February and have just been summoned 😭😂
Fuck me I hope I never have to go through this shit, I'd fall asleep in that waiting room
So long as you don't fall asleep in the court or the jury deliberation room, that's fine!
Thought that was Jimmy page in the dock for a second there...
Do they pay you for the day?
No, but you can claim back (with receipts etc as proof) travel/ accom expenses and for any loss of earnings.
Only upto £80.08 per day which as far as I am concerned is not enough. I work night and earn more then that and now i have pay for food petrol and parking which is expense I don't usually have to pay for so I'll lose money on that and a loss of earning. Great system we have you give up your time for them and the don't even want pay you what u have lost. £64.27 for up to 10 hours what a joke that is £6.42 per hour and for 1 hour I earn over double that. 🤬🤬🤬
The amount of people here complaining about jury duty is disgusting, stop being a lazy shit and get off facebook for a few days to serve your damn country. I'm no patriot but Jesus christ you all look like a bunch of whining 5 year olds, this is a critical part of the judicial system. I wish I had been called up myself but unfortunately not happened yet, still plenty of time though.
Yeah yeah shut up lil bro. You’re not cool
First of all, please cry some more :) . Second of all, the judicial system is fucking stupid no wonder people are complaining.
If you dont register to vote like me. You wont be able to be called up ^^
Been summoned for Jury duty. YOWZAH
I have absolutly no interest in jury duty,accept its a no from me or throw me in jail.
That's awesome can't wait to be called
You better be joking
I bet this guy isn't taking it serious and literally asking for trouble.
I am so nervous because my dad is going to do it on the 3rd of july
Why are you nervous about your dad going to do it? Are you mentally retarded?
Wait. Do they actually wear those wigs in court? Because that's hilarious.
WolfireGaming It's tradition and yes they do wear the wigs.
In Crown courts, yes, they do have to wear them because it involves barristers and judges. It's a cultural thing - a lot of British and Commonwealth countries do it too. The apocryphal tale, which is actually semi-true (other than pure tradition) is that it is to disguise themselves/hide their identities from criminals.
@@cardwitch91 They wore the wigs because back then everyone else did, they just wore them because they could but then they stuck with them. That's where it comes from apparently.
They can be removed at the discretion of the judge. Its most common in cases involving children either as witnesses or accused.
this is so yeeeeeee
If people are selected "purely at random", that means you could be a permanent juror -being selected over and over and over.
If you have just served on a jury you are exempt for 2 years
Fuck yeah sign me up, getting paid to scratch my ass and pretend like I give a damn

My father was chosen in FEB,17 as a juror on that day he is working and he has a problem with speaking . he does not want to attend in the trial. please let me know how can he decline to this trial at this time.
That information is in his Jury pack, sent to him by post with his summons.
He can't decline unless he has a lawful excuse. I would advise that he write to the Court Manager asking to be excused and attend unless he gets a written reply to confirm that his attendance is not required.
said rahman if he wants to leave he would have to pay 1000 pounds
My mum rang on my behalf and spoke to someone about being permanently exempt.
The outcome of a court case in a UK court has absolutely nothing to do with the facts.
It is about the extent of the barrister's abilities, the judge's rulings in regards to the admissibility of certain evidence and finally the makeup of the jury, which is fixed by the prosecution and the police.
my poor dad got that and couldnt look after my sick mum because of it, he never got a case. ive decided as a result that if im summoned im off to usa and will not return. why dont they use law students who want to study law? why force people. good thing i have not been summoned because i wont reply and i wont attend and if u think you will fine me thats too bad because i would have closed my bank before then to stop that. to fine a person for not duing something law students should be doing is rediculas.
should have a choice to do it or not to do it as it my human rights and freedom of speech for not doing jury role
nope. Stop trying to be edgy.

I know i`m a nerd, but i would kill to be on a jury. :DD They don`t even have juries in my country, instead the municipal councils just elect some ``lay-judges``, and then they together with the actual judge decide if they are guilty and what the punishment should be...
Most English criminal trials are also heard by 'lay-judges' (called magistrates) without a jury, assisted by one or two legal officials. A much smaller number involve 'indictable' criminal offences (ie serious enough to be tried at Crown Court) by judge and jury.

I had to do community service in 1991 for shoplifting in Ohio does that disqualify me for jury duty?
UK law states disqualification for 10 years under "community order".
You have to contact your county court or search your county court website.
If you can't find the information that way:
If selected, your Jury pack will inform you of any disqualification reasons,
then declare this on the section you return.
If it was in 1991, then no. You are only permanently disqualified from jury service if your conviction results in you being jailed for more than 5 years. Since yours resulted in you being ordered to carry out community service, the disqualification period ended a long time ago.

@@AngelDelight69 I've been called up for jury service. I'm sort of excited.
@@callmebongos That's fair. I feel like I wouldn't like it though
@@callmebongos I don't think it is, or if it is then it's very rarely enforced. Maybe the law changed recently though and I'm unaware.
shit
That wig looks ridiculous on the Black judge. Why can't you get wigs for all races?!
It’s a grey wig. No matter your race, all races have grey hair. Not only that I’m sure any ethnic minority judge is perfectly capable of arguing their own case if they feel they are being overlooked or treated unfairly. Personally I don’t think any ethnic minority judge would be bothered about wearing a grey wig.
it looks ridiculous regardless of whether your white, black or purple! pantomime costume
It looks bad on anyone hahaha
The blonde narrator has a fantastic lower body. Wow. Wonder what her but looks like in those form fitting pants.
I would never do and I don't care if I was asked and I wouldn't be paying a fine
liam young You'd go to jail then. Your choice.
A society that permits people without any acumen for crime detection to pass judgment on other people. The United States has a lot of quaint ideas about wrong and right, but the majority of people haven't the intelligence to induce and make unbiased judgements. Are judicial system was conceived in righteous theory only.
