Abstract

A jury is an institution recognized in some of the world's legal systems for judging litigation, clarifying the truth, or determining punishment based on collective wisdom that is closer to justice and rationality. According to the claim of the British legal system, this institution was one of the innovations of this system and later entered the legal system of the countries of the world. Accordingly, some believe that this institution has been included in the constitution of our country by adapting to Western laws and has been raised in some relevant laws. One of the most important questions in this regard is the nature and position of the jury in the Islamic legal system and the degree of conformity of the Iranian legal system with it. The present study uses descriptive-analytical method to investigate this issue and concludes that despite the importance and special position of the jury in the Islamic legal system as an oversight body, in the Iranian legal system more attention has been paid to the advisory role of this institution. And is not given a worthy place; While according to the religious texts and fatwas of jurists, the position of the jury can be located in the Islamic judiciary in terms of the requirements of Islamic culture and jurisprudential provisions. In other words, by analyzing the jurisprudential sources and fatwas of Imami jurists, it is possible to depict an improved example of a jury in the Islamic judiciary that can act as an oversight body in the judiciary.
