FAQ
A jury decides the facts of a case in ance with principles of the law as explained by a judge. Jurors listen to testimony, review evidence, and render decisions in civil and criminal trials. Most U.S. citizens who are 18 or older may serve on a federal jury.
In criminal cases, the jury is made up of 12 jurors except in rare cases of the parties agreeing to fewer. In civil cases, the jury can consist of as few as six jurors or as many as twelve. Alternate jurors may also be chosen to avoid unnecessary delays or expense in the event of the incapacity of a juror.

In criminal cases, the jury is made up of twelve jurors, except in the rare case of the parties agreeing to fewer. In civil cases, the jury can consist of as few as six jurors or as many as twelve.
--In any civil case a verdict rendered by at least five-sixths of the jury shall be the verdict of the jury and shall have the same effect as a unanimous verdict of the jury.
In both a civil and criminal case, the judge instructs jurors on the standards to be applied in the case. In criminal trials, 12 jurors are impaneled. In most civil cases, six jurors sit to hear a matter, although there may be as many as 12 jurors.
One juror cannot derail deliberations in a six-person jury, and the jurors will work together to reach a verdict. Likewise, the number of hung juries decreases when 12-person juries do not have to be unanimous. Fewer hung juries result in more accurate verdicts.
1007.2. Rule 1007.2 - Jury Size in Civil Trials (A) Except as provided in paragraph (B) below, juries in civil cases shall consist, initially, of eight members. Trials in such cases shall continue so long as at least six jurors remain in service.
