A quick definition of jury deliberation:

Definition: Jury deliberation is when a group of people who are chosen to decide a court case take time to talk and think about the evidence presented to them before making a final decision. In the past, when two people claimed to have invented the same thing, a process called interference was used to figure out who was the first to invent it. This was important because the U.S. patent system used to follow a first-to-invent rule. However, interference proceedings have been mostly eliminated because the U.S. patent system now follows a first-to-file rule. This means that the person who files a patent application first is usually the one who gets the patent. Instead of interference proceedings, there are now derivation proceedings to figure out who invented something first.

A more thorough explanation:

Jury deliberation is the process by which a group of jurors discuss and analyze evidence presented in a trial in order to reach a verdict.

When a trial is held, a group of jurors is selected to hear the evidence presented by both sides and decide on a verdict. After all the evidence has been presented, the jurors are given instructions by the judge and then retire to a private room to deliberate. During deliberation, the jurors discuss the evidence and arguments presented by both sides, and try to reach a unanimous decision. The length of deliberation can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the number of jurors involved.

For example, in a criminal trial, the jury may deliberate on whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of the charges brought against them. They will consider the evidence presented by the prosecution and the defense, and weigh the credibility of witnesses and experts. Once they have reached a verdict, they will inform the judge and the verdict will be read in open court.
