Question

which of the following is an example of a judicial civic duty? a. signing up for selective service b. voting c. staying informed on current events d. jury duty

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. An example of a judicial civic duty is jury duty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jury duty means that in principle every American must be available to sit on a jury. Every American can be selected for this, including judges from the Supreme Court.

When a person receives a call, he or she must appear at the selection session. Everyone is obliged to report if a call for jury duty falls on the mat, unless it can be demonstrated that this is impossible for compelling reasons. If someone who has been summoned to take part in the jury does not want to or does not show up for any other reason, a fine may be imposed for contempt of the court, although in practice this is only done after repeatedly ignoring calls.

Answer 2

Jury duty is an example of a judicial civic duty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The institution of the American Jury has historically developed in a manner consistent with the spirit and principles of the common law, which is a legal tradition that allowed the conditions and context appropriate for the apparent success of the jury. The characteristics of the political tradition of the American people have enabled the emergence of a civic spirit and a common juridical conscience that make jury duty a rule and not an exception.

The deliberations of a jury can take hours or even days to complete because decisions have to be unanimous. The trial may be terminated in advance due to an unsolvable legal defect if the jury fails to reach a verdict. In a criminal case, if the defendant is found guilty, the judgment is usually referred by the judge at a later date. And whether the defendant is found guilty or innocent, jurors are excused at the end of the trial, with the courtesy of the court, for having fulfilled their civic duty.
