A person whose case comes before the jury is aid to face the jury. The role of the jury is to listen to the evidence of the case and render a decision after careful deliberation and weighing of all the facts. Before the accused faces the jury a grand jury meets to decide if there is enough evidence in a case to carry out a trial. After that if is a positive decision then the trial will start. It is a way that is more commonly followed in united states although all countries that followed the common law system had a jury trial of a kind. But most other commonwealth countries no longer have the jury trials. The United States supreme court commonly uses jury trails and when the case involves important public figures or a serious crime the attention form the public about what ids happening is great. Great attention will be paid to the selection of the jurists and their behavior during and after the trial. Jury selection carried out from people of as diverse backgrounds as the society in which the crime occurred.

[Day 49 of 365] I have jury duty next week, and as I was rummaging through my closet looking for something to wear this morning, I realized that I didn't have anything appropriate to wear to court. I felt a shopping trip was in order. =D (I think tomorrow I'll decide I don't have the right shoes to wear)
god, I have really dark circles under my eyes... I should sleep more.

May 2 123/366 -- Yep, I got the dreaded jury duty summons in the mail last week to appear today... at the convention center. Last time I was called, I was picked, but it was in Tucson, AZ, so apparently a completely different way of doing things. In Tucson, you're called, you show up and then you are either picked for an immediate jury or dismissed. I was picked.
Here in Memphis, I learned (while sitting in an audience of (I kid you not) 3,000 people) that we are the only place that allows people to schedule a week that fits into our schedule. Woah! So, I picked a week in August. It was a streamlined experience, shockingly, too. They were very thorough in the opening comments about what would immediately exempt you from jury duty (not much), and were very clear about how you stand in line to select the week you want to serve, etc. I was out of there by 10:30 a.m. in a room full of 3,000... shown here not full. By the time we got started just after 9 a.m. every chair in here was filled.
