The jury system came to Canada by the British settlers in the mid-1700s and is composed of 12 representatives of the community to provide judgment by peers (v+n). “The purpose of a trial is to answer the question of who did what to whom and whether such conduct is legal” (v+n). The jury acts as adjudicators and are called triers of facts that serve the purpose of listening to evidence and facts presented in court in order to decide who did what to whom and if such conduct was legal, out of the competing interpretations of events presented in court by the defendants and plaintiffs (v+n).
