Answer 1

Is achieved by informal deliberations

Step-by-step explanation:

In a civil case the decision of a jury is achieved by informal deliberations. It does not have to be a unanimous decision. The judge has the power to instruct the jurors on the number of jurors needed to come to a conclusion or reach a verdict. Upon informal deliberations and examining evidence, if the jurors come to a unanimous decision, the verdict is signed by the foreperson. If on the other hand, the verdict of the jurors is not unanimous, only the jurors who agrees with the verdict signs.
