  Politica UK InfoPod The Battle Over Jury Trials: Britain’s Oldest Legal Right Under Review Welcome to the Politica UK InfoPod. Today we turn to one of the most consequential legal debates in Britain in decades: the government’s proposal to restrict the use of jury trials in England and Wales , a move that touches a tradition stretching back hundreds of years.
