Justice is delivered in courts in all democracies but whereas in some countries the verdict is delivered by a judge at the culmination of a trial, in others a jury does so and the judge then releases or sentences the defendant. The USA and Great Britain have a long tradition of trial by jury but is this the best way to deliver justice? Do your research and determine where you stand; then write an essay in which you defend your point of view.
