　　總體分析本文介紹了美國的陪審團(tuán)制度。第一段指出，陪審團(tuán)是美國共同法系統(tǒng)的基本組成部分。第二段分析了使用陪審團(tuán)的原因。第三和四段分別介紹了陪審團(tuán)的類型和選舉程序。

　　全文翻譯：美國的建國之父們作為大英帝國的前殖民者沿襲了其法律系統(tǒng)。我們有“共同法”，即由法庭而非君主或其他像立法機(jī)關(guān)這樣的中央政府權(quán)利機(jī)關(guān)制定的法律。陪審團(tuán)由一群選來裁決案件的普通公民組成，是我們共同法系統(tǒng)基本的組成部分。

　　使用陪審團(tuán)裁決案件是美國法律系統(tǒng)的一個(gè)顯著特征。在世界上很少有其他國家和美國一樣使用陪審團(tuán)。幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來，許多人已經(jīng)相信在大多數(shù)情況下陪審團(tuán)比許多國家那樣單獨(dú)使用一位法官達(dá)成的結(jié)果更公平、公正。因?yàn)榕銓張F(tuán)裁決案件是在一群人“審議”或討論后，因此他們的決定可能受到不同背景的不同人的影響，這些人必須作為一個(gè)團(tuán)體來決定什么是正確的。

　　陪審團(tuán)既被用在裁決普通公民之間糾紛的民事案件中，也用在裁決政府提出訟訴聲稱個(gè)人犯罪的刑事案件中。陪審團(tuán)成員從美國公民中選出并被傳喚。由固定人數(shù)組成的陪審團(tuán)在每一個(gè)需要陪審團(tuán)的案件中都會被召喚。

　　被指派負(fù)責(zé)案件的法官監(jiān)督陪審團(tuán)成員的選舉。在一些州，未來的陪審團(tuán)成員由法官詢問，而在另一些州，他們遵照州法律規(guī)定的法規(guī)接受代表各方當(dāng)事人的律師的詢問。
