What Is Jury Duty? | Your Role as a Juror

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.

    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 !

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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. .

    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.

    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.
