You are one of many people who have been chosen for jury service. As a juror, you have a chance to play a vital part in the legal system. This is to inform you what happens at court and about your role as a juror.
Jurors usually try the more serious criminal cases such as murder, rape, assault, burglary or fraud.
These trials take place in the Crown Court. Sometimes jurors are needed in a civil case such as libel. This does not happen often. When it does, the trial will take place in the High Court or a county court. A juror in a civil case has a similar role to a juror in a criminal case but there are some important differences.
