In our society today citizens play a vital role in the legal system by serving as a jury. A jury is a sworn body of people summoned to render an impartial verdict (a finding of fact on a matter) officially presented to them by a court, or to determine a penalty or judgment (Wikipedia). 12 citizens are selected to serve as a jury in a particular trial. In the movie "12 Angry Men", 12 ordinary citizens were called to serve on the jury in a case to decide the verdict of a murder trial. I chose these three jurors from my legal team based on their character and their contributions during the jury trial, as depicted in the film. They are Juror One, Martin Balsam, Juror Eight, Henry Fonda (Davis), and Juror 11, George Voskovec. Juror number one, Martin played a leadership role by leading their session. He was very firm but calm. He ensured that all jury members had the opportunity to exercise their rights in the day-to-day affairs of their deliberations. In the film, he never dominated his acclaimed role over his peers. He tried to gain their approval through a democratic process by voting privately or publicly in the jury room. This is a necessary quality for jury leadership. He was a professional high school coach, as such, he was able to use his leadership role to further his agenda while maintaining sanity in the judging room. Although he voted guilty at the beginning of the proceedings, he later changed his decision to not guilty after numerous facts and evidence were presented by his colleagues. For this reason I choose him as a member of my legal team. The next person I would like to be on my legal team is juror number eight, Henry Fonda. He is a man of integrity, patient and calm, but he took seriously his role in the jury trial... middle of the paper... the not guilty vote. When juror number seven, Jack Walden, decided to change his vote from guilty to not guilty because that was the popular vote, and as such he wanted the proceedings to end so he could go watch sports, George questioned the its integrity. Juror number seven (George) reminded him of the privilege he has in serving as a jury on such an important case. George asked Jack, "Do you vote not guilty because everyone votes not guilty, or do you vote not guilty because you think it's the right thing to do?" I definitely want him on my legal team because of his uncompromising attitude. In conclusion, as much as I would like jurors one, eight and 11 on my legal team, I believe "12 Angry Men" represented several strengths and weaknesses that enabled their case in the legal process to achieve a successful murder triWorks CitedWikapedia
