Is this for the UK? If so, in criminal cases juries will be used in Crown Court cases, GBH, theft over a certain amount (you'll have to google magistrates to find out what the financial limit is in the magistrates court before it goes to Crown), rape, attempted murder. In a criminal trial the jury has to decide beyond a reasonable doubt, they have to be very sure before they can convict.





In civil cases juries try defamation, libel, slander, personal injuries, they have to be satisfied on the balance, ie. 51% sure is enough. Although in Ireland personal injuries are no longer decided by juries. If you do a bit of google on magistrates is the best place to start, everything that they don't deal with in the criminal sector will go to a jury in the Crown Court
As part of the sixth amendment everyone is entitled to a speedy trial and a jury. In a civil trial there is no jury because the only parties involved are the plaintiff and the defendant. Also there is no jury in a bench trial. [= or you can always Google it [=
do your own homework, lazy.
I'm not sure of that.
