Jury

How it is used

In schools the end-of-term presentation is often called 'the jury' or 'final jury'; American schools also say 'review' and British schools 'crit'. Students present to the jury, which asks questions, comments and decides. Competition juries select winners and write a jury report.

Example sentences

1. The jury asked why the entrance was hidden at the back of the building.

2. I have my final jury on Monday, so I'm finishing the model this weekend.
