- Filmed in the Supreme and County Courts of Victoria, this 23-minute video presents an overview of jury service, how juries work and what they do.
Produced in 2006 in collaboration with the Victorian Juries Services Commissioner
I have been up for jury services for leeds Crown Court done 2 trials with in 2week.
I have been called up twice for service in New Zealand . The government was arrogant enough to offer me a whopping 35$ for the day lol . Oh and they did the usual threats in their letter that it’s an offence to not turn up to service and threatened the usual fines etc . My response to the ministry of (injustice) was that number 1, I need a lot more money than that and if you want me to do legal work my rate is $250 per hour . Number 2 , if I wanted to be involved in anything legal then I would have been a lawyer . Number 3 , there are hundreds of lawyers in the country so get them to do the work that involves anything legal . Number 4 I have seen way to much injustice in my life to have any faith in a pseudo and corrupt legal system . I posted the letter back to the ministry of (injustice) and never herd from them again .
It’s called a ‘civic duty’ dude, it’s a part of living in society.
Yes, but living in a society also means you should have the right to refuse.
If the jury consisted of lawyers that would defeat the entire purpose... It's supposed to represent the community and their values, not biased legal professionals. Also, thinking you deserve $250 an hour to be a juror is a bit rich lol
john i miss you come back
john is never coming back
do they make you swear on the bible if you are not Christian?
yea but if you lie, you're prosecuted
'Oaths are frequently made while holding the Bible, the New Testament or the Old Testament. Witnesses may choose to swear an oath on another relevant religious text. It is not necessary that a religious text be used in taking an oath.' Court Services Vic.
'Section 72A Jury Act 1977 provides a prescribed manner for a juror's oath and affirmation. Subsection 72A(5) provides that if an oath is taken in the prescribed manner it is not necessary for a religious text (normally a bible) to be used.' Judicial Services NSW.
Affirmations rather than oaths are also applicable, which is where you promise to be truthful rather than making an oath.
You can affirm to tell the truth, you do not have to use a religious text.
awful ridiculous wigs. how does anyone get taken seriously wearing that
get around Leo
hello freds
a cringy worthy video indeed, who does this judge think she is strutting around the place like the POTUS and staring into people's souls with those beady eyes of hers
😂

saucy is a rranger
Jury in a murder case.... Seems legit
slavery
Totally
One of the worst documentarys ever seen on UA-cam. This should be bannned. I was literally fallen asleep & once i got to the guy who was asking to be excused because of a "B" grade Pennant match rather than take part in a murder trial that it was it for me. Absolute cringeworthy.
Oh, sure, I'd love to be on a jury for a 3-week trial instead of my winning bowling streak! 🎳 Let's trade those strikes for court strikes! ⚖
