No me molesta servir en un jurado. Es una oportunidad de trabajar al lado de personas muy diferentes que mis compañeros habituales.

That's interesting lilium. Does a judge make all the decisions himself? - 0095ca4c, Oct 7, 2013
I understand you very well amiga. Nice job! - 0095ca4c, Oct 7, 2013
Depends on a case. We have "judge individual" and "judge chamber". I hope you can understand my poor English :) - 00b5f6c6, Oct 7, 2013
