Jurors review the evidence in a trial and then decide issues of fact, and give a verdict based on their agreed upon facts.
For example, in a murder trial, they would watch the evidence and decide "did he do it?" If they are convinced he did, they would find the defendant guilty. In a civil trial, the issue would be more akin to "is she responsible?" In that case, they would find the defendant liable and set damages.
The juror's role in the courtroom is to listen to the evidence presented during a trial, evaluate the facts, and ultimately reach a verdict based on the instructions provided by the judge. Jurors must remain neutral and impartial throughout the trial, deliberating with fellow jurors to reach a unanimous decision when required.
In Scots Law a jury consists of 15 people chosen from the electoral role by ballot.
The bailiff will take attendance of the jurors.
