Juries have been part of our legal system since 1845 and ensure the public’s direct participation in the criminal justice system
The jury system remains one of the best-known features of Hong Kong’s criminal justice system and can often be a lightning rod for political debate about its merits, cost-effectiveness and whether it can deliver justice.
Trial by jury is expressly provided for in Article 86 of the city’s Basic Law, which maintains the “principle of trial by jury previously practised in Hong Kong”.
The jury trial has been a part of our legal system since 1845 and, since then, juries have most notably been present in criminal trials involving the most serious offences, which are tried at the Court of First Instance.
