Day (II)Law Order: Trial By Jury : Season 1 E...
DOWNLOAD ->>->>->> https://fancli.com/2tGVf8
Trial by Jury focuses on criminal legal procedures and preparation that are rarely depicted on other Law & Order series, such as jury selection, deliberations in the jury room, as well as jury research and mock trials prepared by the defense to use psychological studies and socioeconomic status profiling to their advantage. The episodes usually start with a witness or victim's personal account of a crime. This is a departure from the other Law & Order series, which usually begin by depicting either the actual crime or its discovery/reporting by civilians. The show progresses on from that point, showing how both sides develop their strategies for winning the case. In addition, a few episodes show jury deliberations. The show develops the judges as characters, showing scenes of them conferring with each other and reusing the same judges in multiple episodes.
The series follows Bureau Chief Tracey Kibre (Bebe Neuwirth), an Executive Assistant District Attorney assigned to Manhattan's homicide division. Kibre's team, including District Attorney Investigator Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Assistant District Attorney Kelly Gaffney (Amy Carlson), follows up on leads and interview witnesses, as well as participating in trials, during which both sides examine witnesses and give arguments. Similarly, the defense's preparation varies from episode to episode, running the gamut from testing arguments in front of jury focus groups to deal-making between co-defendants. Several pretrial meetings are held where some procedural issue is argued and ruled on.
When a police officer is executed by a career criminal (Aliya Campbell), Kibre and Gaffney must overcome the fact that the accused was shot 41 times by police, not to mention the charges of police corruption leveled by the charismatic and cunning defense attorney (Peter Coyote). Kibre's plea for justice veers suddenly when evidence indicates the killer might be a federal agent's snitch, while she also fears the jury will sympathize when they see the bandaged man wheeled into court for his trial.
(b) The court may direct that on the first day of trial or at such other time as the court may set, counsel shall submit an indexed binder or notebook, or the electronic equivalent, of trial exhibits for the court's use. Such submission shall include a copy for each attorney on trial and the originals in a similar binder or notebook for the witnesses. Plaintiff's exhibits shall be numerically tabbed, and defendant's exhibits shall be tabbed alphabetically.(c) Where the trial is by jury, counsel shall, on the first day of the trial or such other time as the court may set, provide the court with case-specific requests to charge and proposed jury interrogatories. Where the requested charge is from the New York Pattern Jury Instructions - Civil, a reference to the PJI number will suffice. Submissions should be by hard copy and electronically, as directed by the court.
Upon request of a party, the court may permit that direct testimony of that party's own witness in a non-jury trial or evidentiary hearing be submitted in affidavit form, provided, however, that the opposing party shall have the right to object to statements in the direct testimony affidavit, and the court shall rule on such objections, just as if the statements had been made orally in open court. Where an objection to a portion of a direct testimony affidavit is sustained, the court may direct that such portion be stricken. The submission of direct testimony in affidavit form shall not affect any right to conduct cross-examination or re-direct examination of the witness.
(c) Jury Trials. A trial by jury may be demanded as provided by CPLR 4102. Where a jury trial has been demanded, the action or special proceeding shall be scheduled for jury trial upon payment of the fee prescribed by CPLR 8020 by the party first filing the demand. If no demand for a jury trial is made, it shall constitute a waiver by all parties and the action or special proceeding shall be scheduled for nonjury trial.
(c) Consultation Regarding Expert Testimony. The court presiding over a non-jury trial or hearing may direct that prior, or during, the trial or hearing, counsel for the parties consult in good faith to identify those aspects of their respective experts' anticipated testimony that are not in dispute. The court may further direct that any agreements reached in this regard shall be reduced to a written stipulation.
(b) Pre-Voir Dire Settlement Conference. Where the court has directed that jury selection begin, the trial judge shall meet prior to the actual commencement of jury selection with counsel who will be conducting the voir dire and shall attempt to bring about a disposition of the action.
(1) If for any reason jury selection cannot proceed immediately, counsel shall return promptly to the courtroom of the assigned trial judge or the Trial Assignment Part or any other designated location for further instructions.
(2) Generally, a total of eight jurors, including two alternates, shall be selected. The court may permit a greater number of alternates if a lengthy trial is expected or for any appropriate reason. Counsel may consent to the use of "nondesignated" alternate jurors, in which event no distinction shall be made during jury selection between jurors and alternates, but the number of peremptory challenges in such cases shall consist of the sum of the peremptory challenges that would have been available to challenge both jurors and designated alternates.
(9) After jury selection is completed, counsel shall advise the clerk of the assigned Trial Part or of the Trial Assignment Part or other designated part. If counsel anticipates the need during trial of special equipment (if available) or special assistance, such as an interpreter, counsel shall so inform the clerk at that time.
All trial counsel shall remain in attendance at all stages of the trial until the jury retires to deliberate, unless excused by the judge presiding. The court may permit counsel to leave, provided that counsel remain in telephone contact with the court. Any counsel not present during the jury deliberation, further requests to charge, or report of the jury verdict shall be deemed to stipulate that the court may proceed in his or her absence and to waive any irregularity in proceedings taken in his or her absence.
Unless otherwise ordered by the court, whenever a trial by jury is demanded on less than all issues of fact in an action, and such issues as to which a trial by jury is demanded have been specified in the note of issue or in the jury demand, as the case may be, served and filed pursuant to section 202.21 of this Part, the court without a jury first shall try all issues of fact as to which a trial by jury is not demanded. If the determination of these issues by the court does not dispose of the action, a jury shall be emPanelled to try the issues as to which a trial by jury is demanded.
(a) Judges are encouraged to order a bifurcated trial of the issues of liability and damages in any action for personal injury where it appears that bifurcation may assist in a clarification or simplification of issues and a fair and more expeditious resolution of the action.
(c) During the voir dire conducted prior to the liability phase of the trial, if the damage phase of the trial is to be conducted before the same jury, counsel may question the prospective jurors with respect to the issue of damages in the same manner as if the trial were not bifurcated.
(d) In opening to the jury on the liability phase of the trial, counsel may not discuss the question of damages. However, if the verdict of the jury shall be in favor of the plaintiff on the liability issue or in favor of the defendant on any counterclaim on the liability issue, all parties shall then be afforded an opportunity to address the jury on the question of damages before proof in that regard is presented to the jury.
(e) In the event of a plaintiff's verdict on the issue of liability or a defendant's verdict on the issue of liability on a counterclaim, the damage phase of the trial shall be conducted immediately thereafter before the same judge and jury, unless the judge presiding over the trial, for reasons stated in the record, finds such procedures to be impracticable.
An action in which there has been an inability by a jury to reach a verdict, a mistrial or a new trial granted by the trial justice or an appellate court shall be rescheduled for trial. Where a new trial is granted by an appellate court, a notice to reschedule shall be filed with the appropriate clerk.
(c) Application for Jury Trial. Where an answer is interposed which raises an issue of fact which in an action relating to the title to real property would be triable by a jury, either or any party to the registration proceeding who is entitled to have such issue determined may apply to the appropriate part or judge within 20 days after the issue has been joined to have the issues framed to be tried by a jury, as provided by CPLR 4102(b). The trial of such issues shall be had and the subsequent proceedings in relation thereto shall be such as are prescribed by the CPLR. After such issues are disposed of, either or any party to the registration proceeding may apply to the appropriate part or judge, upon eight days' notice to all who have appeared in the registration proceeding, for a final order and judgment of registration, and on such application the court shall try all other issues in the proceeding not disposed of by the jury, or may refer any such issues undisposed of to be tried by an official examiner of title as referee. Where all issues have been disposed of, any party, upon eight days' notice to all who have appeared in the proceeding, may apply for the final order and judgment of registration at the appropriate part or before the appropriate assigned judge.
(a) At any stage of the matter, the court may direct or counsel may seek the appointment of an uncompensated mediator or neutral evaluator for the purpose of helping to achieve a resolution of all or some of the issues presented in the litigation. Counsel are encouraged to work together to select a mediator or neutral evaluator that is mutually acceptable and may wish to consult any list of approved neutrals in the county where the case is pending. Additionally, counsel for all parties may stipulate to having the case determined by a summary jury trial pursuant to any applicable local rules or, in the absence of a controlling local rule, with permission of the court. 781b155fdc
