The main duties of jurors include hearing the testimony of witnesses, examining evidence, participating in discussions and voting.
The participation of jurors can ensure the fairness and authority of the trial, because they represent the public's views and judgments and can supervise and restrict the judge's judgment.
At the same time, the participation of jurors can also enhance citizens' legal awareness and sense of participation, and improve their trust and recognition of judicial justice.
However, jurors also need to have certain legal knowledge and professionalism, and must maintain a neutral, objective and fair attitude in court trials, free from external interference and pressure.

However, people's jurors do not need to pass the judicial examination, and their appointment must also be approved by the local people's congress executive meeting. Education requires junior college or above, and the people's court will take their salary during the trial. Some people's jurors also participate in the execution of cases, and people's jurors sometimes mediate simple cases alone.
