jury question

A quick definition of jury question:

A jury question is a problem that a group of people called a jury has to solve. It is usually about whether something is true or not, like if someone did something wrong or not. The jury listens to all the evidence and then decides what they think is true. This is different from a question that has already been answered by the law or a question that is just someone's opinion. A jury question can be answered by showing proof or evidence.

A more thorough explanation:

A jury question is an issue of fact that a jury decides. It is a disputed issue that needs to be resolved by the jury in a jury trial or by the judge in a bench trial.

A question of fact is an issue that has not been predetermined and authoritatively answered by the law. It is a disputed issue that does not involve what the law is on a given point.

  • Whether a particular criminal defendant is guilty of an offense
  • Whether a contractor has delayed unreasonably in constructing a building

These examples illustrate how a jury question or a question of fact is a disputed issue that needs to be resolved by the jury or the judge. In the first example, the jury needs to decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of the offense. In the second example, the judge needs to decide whether the contractor has delayed unreasonably or not.

In summary, a jury question is a disputed issue of fact that needs to be resolved by the jury or the judge.
