The jury box is one of the most powerful spaces in the justice system — a place where ordinary citizens weigh evidence, deliberate on facts, and ultimately decide the fate of individuals and institutions. At The Legal Channel, Juror’s Mind is our innovative programming series dedicated to exploring the perspectives, challenges, and responsibilities of jurors in courts around the world.
What is Juror’s Mind?
Juror’s Mind goes beyond courtroom drama to examine how jurors think, decide, and influence justice. This series provides insights into:
- The Psychology of Decision-Making: How jurors process testimony, evidence, and legal instructions.
- The Dynamics of Deliberation: What happens behind closed doors when diverse perspectives must reach one verdict.
- Bias and Fairness: Understanding how unconscious bias, cultural background, and personal experience can impact juror judgment.
- Comparative Jury Systems: Exploring how jury trials differ across legal traditions — from the U.S. and U.K. to countries where jury trials are rare.
