In countries with a [[jury]] system, the jury's deliberation in criminal matters can involve both rendering a [[verdict]] and determining the appropriate [[Sentence (law)|sentence]]. In civil cases, the [[Judgment (law)|jury decision]] is whether to agree with the [[plaintiff]] or the [[defendant]] and rendering a [[Legal remedy|resolution]] binding actions by the parties based on the results of the trial.

Typically, a jury must come to a unanimous decision before it delivers a [[verdict]]; however, there are exceptions. When a jury does not reach a unanimous decision and does not feel it is possible to do so, they declare themselves a "[[hung jury]]", a [[mistrial (law)|mistrial]] is declared, and the trial will have to be redone at the discretion of the plaintiff or [[prosecutor]].

One of the most famous dramatic depictions of this phase of a trial in practice is the film ''[[12 Angry Men (1957 film)|12 Angry Men]]''.
