On the impartiality of a juror in a criminal court
by Cindy FRUGIER (INSTITUT DE SCIENCES CRIMINELLES ET DE LA JUSTICE)
The defense will take place at 13h00 - Salle 1 K Université de Bordeaux, Pôle Juridique et Judiciaire, 35 Pl. Pey Berland, 33000 Bordeaux
in front of the jury composed of
- François ROUSSEAU - Professeur - Université de NANTES - Rapporteur
- Clément MARGAINE - Professeur - Université de POITIERS - Rapporteur
- Sophie DELBREL - Maîtresse de conférences - Université de BORDEAUX - Examinateur
- Charlotte CLAVERIE-ROUSSET - Professeure - Université de BORDEAUX - Directeur de these
The research focuses on defining juror impartiality and on the procedural safeguards designed to ensure it, aimed at preventing any undue interference with the free formation of the jurors' inner conviction. Subjectivity, when it exposes jurors to the gaze of others—whether in the courtroom or in the context of a highly publicized trial—increases the risk of a lack of subjective impartiality which, if not properly controlled, would undermine their duty of impartiality.
