In 2007, with little public debate or preparation, South Korea introduced a jury system in some criminal and civil trials. For now, the jury`s decision is only advisory and the court can reject it. This has resulted in confusion about the role of citizens in the justice system, concerns about the methodology used to implement the jury system, and greater transparency and citizen participation in government affairs. Do you know when someone is lying to you? Have you ever been lied to to the point that you didn`t find out until much later? Have your roommates or friends involved in an argument ever asked you to decide who should win? Essentially, being a juror depends on the same human abilities. In every court case, each of the two opposing parties, who are absolutely opposed, claims that it is right and the other party is wrong. Our trial system is a process in which each party presents their case to a group of foreign citizens and then asks them to decide who is lying and who is telling the truth. A proceeding brought by a single party before the court, without the other party having notified or contested it. Summary Judgment – A decision made on the basis of statements and evidence presented without trial. It is used when the facts are not disputed and a party is entitled to a judgment under the law. Bail – security for the release of an accused or witness in pre-trial detention (usually in the form of money) to ensure his or her appearance on the agreed day and time. Injunction – Prohibits a person from engaging in any act that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it can be issued immediately, without notifying the opposing party and without being heard. It should last only until the oral proceedings can take place.

A party who has the right to hear a court hearing on a matter to be decided in bankruptcy. The U.S. debtor, trustee or receiver, the case trustee and creditors are parties in the interest of most matters. Another problem stems from the burden of their service on the privacy of jurors. While most states have laws that prevent an employer from firing an employee or taking negative labor action, such as demotion, against the employee for serving as a juror, there is no legal obligation for an employer to continue to pay an employee for jury duty. The court system also does not pay jurors for their services (although some court systems pay a small amount, usually less than twenty dollars per day, to cover food and transportation costs). Some citizens, such as the self-employed, are therefore at great risk of losing personal income by participating in jury trials. Imagine you`re on the jury in O.J. Simpson`s criminal trial, for example – that process took ten months.

The impact of jury work on a juror`s personal life can be mind-blowing. Courts use a variety of terms to identify the role of a particular party in a civil dispute, typically the party filing a claim as a plaintiff or, in older U.S. cases, the party to the first party; and the party against whom the action was brought as a defendant or, in earlier U.S. cases, the party to the second party. In criminal proceedings in Nigeria and some other countries, parties are called prosecutors and accused. A written statement filed in court or an appeal that explains a party`s legal and factual arguments. It is irrefutable that a lawyer owes his client a zealous lawyer, but his zeal must be limited within the limits set for him as an official of the court and in accordance with the rules of the Court of Justice. In particular, rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure explicitly sets out the outer limits of acceptable conduct by counsel. This rule prohibits a lawyer from asserting legal claims or positions that are not justified by the applicable law or by modifying, extending or expanding existing law. Rule 11 also prohibits a lawyer from using the courts for purposes that have nothing to do with the resolution of a legitimate legal ground.

With respect to civil actions in “equity” and not in “law”. In English legal history, courts of “law” could order the payment of damages and could offer no other remedy (see damages). A separate “fairness” tribunal could order someone to do something or stop something (e.g., injunction). In U.S. jurisprudence, federal courts have both legal and just power, but the distinction is always important. For example, a jury trial is generally available in “legal cases,” but not in “fairness” cases. Hearings – Written questions put to a party by an opposing party, to which the party must respond in writing under oath. Interrogations are part of the discovery in a trial. The right as set out in previous court decisions. Synonymous with precedent. Similar to the common law, which stems from tradition and judicial decisions.

As the Orly Taitz case shows, lawyers must ensure that they respect the authority of a court at all times and conduct civil law. Most lawyers have no problem fulfilling this obligation to the judge, but it is on the jury that they focus their attention the most. In our legal system, jurors have a very special role to play in ensuring the participation of citizens in the administration of justice. As trier of fact, the jury has a duty to establish the truth in all situations: who said and did what, why and when? Dispute resolution procedure outside the courtroom. Most alternative dispute resolution methods are non-binding and involve referring the case to a neutral party such as an arbitrator or mediator. The litigant is referred to as the plaintiff in civil proceedings. The plaintiff is a victim who has allegedly suffered a legal injustice recognized by law. The plaintiff brings an action against the defendant – the alleged perpetrator or the perpetrator. Note that in criminal proceedings, the litigant is the U.S. Attorney`s Office representing the people of a state or, in federal cases, the people of the United States.

In criminal proceedings, the alleged offender is also referred to as the accused. Party who appeals against the decision of a district court and usually seeks the annulment of that decision. The judicial officer who supervises the administrative functions, in particular the management of the flow of cases by the court.
