FAQ

Summary juries shall consist of no less than six jurors and one alternate unless the parties stipulate to fewer jurors. The court shall allow each side two peremptory challenges.

Constitutional Amendments – Amendment 7 – “The Right to Jury Trial in Civil Affairs” Amendment Seven to the Constitution was ratified on December 15, 1791. It protects the right for citizens to have a jury trial in federal courts with civil cases where the claim exceeds a certain dollar value.

The right to a jury trial is a way to prevent government oppression by having impartial “peers” decide the fate of an accused. It safeguards against heavy-handed and unfair prosecution as well as judges that may have bias. It prevents unchecked power and helps ensure an accused receives justice.

Amend. VII ( In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than ing to the rules of the common law. ).

A civil case for which a jury is involved is generally a dispute between two or more parties that does not involve a criminal matter and is not a dispute between family members regarding divorce or child custody. In family matters, a judge handles the case without a jury.

In a civil trial, five out of six jurors are needed to return a verdict in favor of one party or the other. When 12 jurors deliberate in a civil trial, 10 jurors are needed to return a verdict. In a criminal case the verdict must be unanimous.

One juror cannot derail deliberations in a six-person jury, and the jurors will work together to reach a verdict. Likewise, the number of hung juries decreases when 12-person juries do not have to be unanimous. Fewer hung juries result in more accurate verdicts.

If not demanded or ordered by the court, a jury is deemed waived. A plaintiff in a small claim and a claimant in a commercial claim or consumer transaction is deemed to have waived the right to a jury trial. Any other party, before the day that the action is notice to be heard, may demand a jury trial.
