Especially as a woman, the jury sums you up immediately and is listening to everything you're saying. You have to be on your game all the time, and that prepares you for being in front of the camera. The difference is, when I am in front of a jury, I am not talking about my emotions and my life.

But for their right to judge of the law, and the justice of the law, juries would be no protection to an accused person, even as to matters of fact; for, if the government can dictate to a jury any law whatever, in a criminal case, it can certainly dictate to them the laws of evidence.

Film fests are an opportunity to see different kinds of films that you usually don't get to watch. When I'm part of a jury, then I get to judge films, but otherwise I attend festivals to watch two or three films a day and network with a gathering of cinema lovers from all over.

In the past there has been debate as to whether or not traditional rights such as that to trial by jury might be protected or if a Bill of Rights should extend into areas of social and economic policy.

British Politician

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

The term 'jury' is commonly associated with legal settings, such as trials and courtrooms.

Courtroom Context

In criminal trials, a jury's verdict often must be unanimous to convict or acquit the accused.

Unanimity Required

Potential jurors are usually selected at random and then screened through a process called 'voir dire'.

Selection Process

A jury in contests judges participants' performances against a set of criteria.

Performance Evaluation

Jury members in contests are usually experts or professionals in the field of the competition.

Expertise Expected

In contests, jurors should be objective and not have personal connections to participants.

Bias Avoidance

'Jury' as an adjective implies a solution is temporary, not for long-term use.

Not Long-lasting

A jury solution is often devised quickly to solve an unexpected problem.

Emergencies

Jury solutions can be ingenious, using available materials or unconventional methods.

 If you're accused of a crime, you have the right to a speedy public trial and an impartial jury. You also have the right to a lawyer, and the right to take the stand if you choose.

 we expect juries to be able to cope with the sorts of reasoning that goes on. In other spheres of life, if people argued -- well, except possibly for politics -- but in other spheres of life, if people argued illogically, we'd say that's not a good thing. We sort of expect it of politicians and don't hope for much more.
