Which term refers to a legal group of people sworn to make a decision in a legal case?

• A. Verdict
• B. Complaint
• C. Jury
• D. Legal Settlement

Answer: (C)

In a legal case, a jury is a group of citizens sworn to judge impartially and decide the outcome after hearing the evidence. They evaluate testimony, weigh credibility, and apply the judge’s instructions to render a verdict. The term refers to the people serving, not the decision itself or other documents. A verdict is the decision the jury reaches. A complaint is the filing that starts a civil suit. A legal settlement is an agreement to resolve the dispute without a trial.
