陪审团制是指在专业法官的主持之下,由普通公民组成的陪审团进行事实裁判的审判组织形式。在陪审团审理的情况下,专业法官只是起到法庭主持队的作用,没有实质上的裁判权力。陪审制度作为民主的产物,首要目的是为了反抗政府的暴政,因而强调任何人都有可能成为陪审员。正是由于陪审团成员代表的广泛性,所以在审判中更能体现民主和公正。 Jury system refers to the jury system composed of ordinary citizens under the auspices of a professional judge. In a jury trial, professional judges function only as court presidents and have no substantive jurisdiction. As the product of democracy, the primary purpose of the jury system is to resist the tyranny of the government and thus emphasize that anyone may become a juror. It is because of the extensiveness of representatives of jury members that democracy and fairness are better reflected in the trial.
