A quick definition of jury trial:

Definition: A jury trial is when a group of regular people, called jurors, listen to the evidence presented in a court case and decide if the person on trial is guilty or not guilty. The judge helps the jurors understand the law, but the jurors make the final decision about the facts of the case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A jury trial is a legal proceeding in which a group of people, called jurors, listen to evidence presented by both sides of a case and then make a decision based on the facts presented. The judge in a jury trial is responsible for determining questions of law, while the jurors are responsible for deciding questions of fact.

Example: In a criminal trial, the prosecution and defense will present their cases to a jury. The jurors will then deliberate and decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of the charges brought against them.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a jury trial works in a criminal case. The judge will provide instructions to the jury on the law, and the jurors will listen to the evidence presented by both sides before making a decision on the facts of the case. The decision made by the jury is binding and will determine the outcome of the trial.
