What Is an Impartial Jury?
An impartial jury refers to the fitness of potential and selected jurors to render a verdict without bias in a trial by jury. The goals of assembling an impartial jury are to give each side in a criminal or civil case the opportunity to be heard fairly, to achieve a fair verdict that reflects the reality of what happened and to do justice under the law to the parties involved. There are a number of steps in jury selection that exist for the purpose of creating an impartial jury.
