Solution
The jury system is a legal system used to determine the facts at issue in a lawsuit. It consists of a group of twelve people, called a jury, who sit in criminal and civil cases to make decisions based on evidence presented in court. The jury evaluates the facts and delivers a verdict of guilt or innocence (in criminal cases) or liability (in civil cases). The system has a long tradition, with an approximately 800-year history in England, and is a key feature of democratic legal systems like those in the UK and USA.
