Reply To: jury duty or "just following orders"

Joseph,

1. Whether there is a right to a jury trial in a civil case depends on the state and the case. The judge generally has wide latitude.

2. True. However, we are tlking about a b’diavad situation.

3. Again, it depends. Soemtimes the court can order ADR.

4. See #2.

5. See the article “Jury Service in Halachah” on the website “dinonline”.
