Document Summary
Ccrm308 week 2: the court system (the players: the jury) Rarely will you be able to bring in fresh evidence; you need to convince the judges to allow the fresh evidence, usually opposed to by the crown. Jps deal with bylaw matters, some criminal matters but mostly regulatory offences or highway traffic acts. They deal with two important aspects: sign search warrants and do the majority of bail hearings (not including those that deal with murder because those require a judge/justice). They don"t need legal training, and are strictly a political appointment. There is still a political aspect but the procedure ensures some fairness and no appointments are done by just being friends with the ag. Juries are selected randomly among the public with no training: scjj are still appointed politically coming from an inner circle. The application will be sent to them and you will receive a grant or deny (no reasons)
