Juries and human rights

Giles Bayliss explores the relationship between jury composition and the right to a fair trial

This article is relevant to AQA Paper 1 (criminal courts and lay people) and Paper 3 (human rights and law and justice), OCR A-level Component 1 (criminal courts and lay people) and Component 3 (Section A: law and justice, Section B: human rights), and WJEC/Eduqas A-level Papers 1 and 2.

Understanding the role of the jury system in the English legal system is a key element in A-level law. As well as being able to explain jury selection and eligibility, you must be able to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of trial by jury and be familiar with key issues and arguments. There is also an important connection between the jury system and wider issues of justice and human rights.
