Description
In 2011, Georgian citizens were granted with a much-needed opportunity to take part in the administration of justice through fulfilment of their jury duties. Currently jury trials are being conducted solely in the capital and covering only one type of a crime. Georgia plans to expand jury trials both geographically and according to the scope of their application.
