In the United States, jury rulings are fundamental to the criminal justice system and represent the collective decision of ordinary citizens. In Brazil, while jury trials exist (Tribunal do Júri), they are less common than judge-presided trials, making jury rulings a less frequently encountered legal outcome. The concept is deeply rooted in Anglo-American legal tradition and represents democratic participation in justice.
