Which legal term describes a decision made by a jury or judge?

Ruling
Verdict
Determination
Conclusion

The correct answer is: Verdict

The term that accurately describes a decision made by a jury or judge is "verdict." A verdict is the formal finding or decision given by a jury, which typically resolves the issue of guilt or innocence in a criminal trial or liability in a civil case. It represents the conclusion of a trial and reflects the jury's or judge's judgment based on the evidence presented during the proceedings. The other options do not specifically refer to a decision made by a jury. A "ruling" generally refers to a decision made by a judge regarding the law or legal procedure within a case, rather than the final decision on the case itself. "Determination" is a broader term that can refer to any conclusion reached after consideration, not strictly a legal decision. "Conclusion" can be used in various contexts to signify an end or an outcome but does not specifically denote a legal decision made by a jury or judge.
