Jury Duty in Jamaica: My Experience

By Darren Braithwaite

The Jamaican legal system can be a complicated and intimidating thing, especially for those that have had no prior experience with it.

This book is to inform those of us that have been called to serve as jurors what to expect. At the time when I was called to serve as a juror, I had a hard time finding out what the details were and exactly what to expect. I had never stepped into a courtroom before, and this was my first experience with the Jamaican legal system. I hope that you can learn from my experience and that you benefit from it should you have the call.
