Rejected petition: Keep trial by jury

Rejected on

This is a fundamental judicial need in this country, established 800 years ago. We need to keep it.

It seems ridiculous to ask this, but don't take away the jury from the courts. For the sake of transparency and ancient rights to all citizens for a fair and impartial trial
