good jury

Read a random definition: retroactive law

A quick definition of good jury:

A jury is a group of people chosen by the law to decide if someone is guilty or innocent in a court case. Sometimes, there are special types of juries, like a blue-ribbon jury made up of people with special skills or knowledge. A good jury is one that is fair and impartial, meaning they don't have any opinions about the case before it starts and they only base their decision on the evidence presented in court. There are also other types of juries, like a grand jury that investigates crimes and a petit jury that decides the outcome of a specific case.

A more thorough explanation:

A good jury is a group of individuals selected according to the law and given the power to decide questions of fact and return a verdict in the case submitted to them. They are expected to be fair and impartial, with no preconceived opinions about the case at the start of the trial.

For example, a common jury, also known as a petit jury, is summoned and empaneled in the trial of a specific case. They are responsible for hearing the evidence presented and making a decision based on that evidence. Another example is a grand jury, which is responsible for determining whether there is enough evidence to bring criminal charges against a defendant.

A good jury is essential to ensuring justice is served in a fair and impartial manner. They must be unbiased and base their verdict solely on the evidence presented in court.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34

@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
