Question

You have read about many of the important players in the criminal justice process: judges, prosecutors, jury, etc. Which do you think are the most important and why? You don’t have to rank them, but explain who you believe would be in your top 3 and why

Answer 1

I might try to talk about the importance of trial by jury and tie in the importance of civic awareness. 12 Angry Men might be a good way to introduce the importance of the jury. Further, I would talk about how none of the elements of the legal system can stand on their own, and how the complexity of the system is what makes it effective.
