All those years of watching Law & Order have finally paid off—now you’re in the jury box and the stakes couldn’t be higher. At The Jury Experience in Sydney, witnesses take the stand, the prosecution lays out damning evidence and the defence fires back with shocking twists. But it’s up to you to listen carefully, dissect every piece of evidence and deliver a verdict that could change a life forever.
This live courtroom case raises questions about morality, the future of AI and the true meaning of justice. It will be held at the heritage-listed Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace in Cremorne on selected dates over the coming months. However, make sure to secure your spot now because places are limited.
What is “The Jury Experience”?
“The Jury Experience” is a gripping live courtroom drama that puts you in the role of a juror. It’s just like jury duty but minus the inconvenience. Over the course of 60 minutes, you’ll hear witness testimonies, different cross examination strategies and the lawyers’ closing statements to determine the end all question—guilty or not guilty?
What is the trial about?
Self-driving cars make travel safer and more convenient—or do they? While they promise an effortless journey, questions about reliability remain: what happens when sensors fail or AI misreads a situation? The trial must determine whether the vehicle followed the right parameters, if human intervention was necessary, and ultimately, who’s to blame. As technology advances, it’s your job as a juror to contemplate the safety and accountability of these machines on the road.
