Rise for the Jury

What really happens when a civil or criminal case makes it to trial and 12 regular people (most of whom have no formal education about the legal system) are expected to be an impartial judge and ultimately make the final decision about a person’s guilt or innocence?

Each episode breaks down the case before exploring what it was actually like to sit in the jury box: the pressure, the uncertainty, the conflicts, and the lasting impact of serving on a jury.
