A judge is someone who controls the courtroom and has been appointed to hear cases in a court of law. The exact roles and obligations of a judge may differ from one country to another. He or she is the person in charge of proceedings in the court. The judge determines the punishment for the guilty party, as well as the award for financial consequences.

Supreme Court judges are also known as justices or federal judges. These are the types of judges who hear particular cases that entail more knowledge and use of the constitution. A jury is a group of individuals appointed to come to a conclusion or a decision. The decision is called the verdict. Jury duty is a big responsibility, as you are expected to make a judgment call that will affect the rest of the person’s life, or it will affect the wheels of justice.

Jujitsu is an older martial art compared to Aikido. According to history, Jujitsu started in Japan in the 17th century. Although, there is no precise or accurate information about the real founder(s) of this martial art. There is a claim that the founder of Jujitsu was a doctor with the name Akiyama Shirobei. For some, they believe Jujitsu was created by three men, Isogai Jirozaemon, Miura Yojiemon, and Fukuno Hichiroemon. Aikido, being a newer martial art compared to Jujitsu, was created by Osensei in the 1920s. It is a little different in their training style. Jujitsu focuses more on the speed of the opponent with respect to the leverage, balance, and the force coming from the opponent.

In contrast, Aikido is based on the principle of endurance, controlled relaxation, and flexibility. Jujitsu trains people to focus more on different techniques that can affect the opponent's stability and force. Although the use of weapons is allowed in both, the common ones for Aikido are wooden swords, staff, and knives. For Jujitsu, the common ones are wooden chains, knives, and helmet smashers.

A jury refers to a group of people chosen and assembled to hear and decide a case in a court of law. Members of a jury are known as jurors. These people are constitutionally empowered to listen to the evidence from both the plaintiff and the defendant and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the charges against him or not. The main reason for their involvement in a trial is so that there won't be a biased judgment. A jury is of two types; grand jury and petit jury.

These two have their own differences, but the major one is that a grand jury usually works with the prosecution team while a petit jury listens to the evidence from both parties. On the other hand, a judge is a public official who has the authority to preside over trials and give judgment. A jury is obligated to work with a judge, but working with a jury is not a must for a judge. Apart from some special courts, only a judge is assigned to a court, whereas the total number of jurors for a trial can be any number from 8 to 20.
