To understand why the answer to the clue "Judges and juries" is "TRIERS," we need to delve into the word itself. In legal contexts, a "trier" refers to someone who judges or evaluates the validity of something. Here's why "TRIERS" matches the clue:

1. Judges: A crucial role in legal proceedings is played by judges who preside over a court and determine a case's outcome based on evidence and the law. These individuals are essentially "triers" of the facts and interpret the law to provide fair judgments.
2. Juries: Juries are groups of ordinary citizens selected to hear evidence during a trial and jointly reach a verdict. By deliberating on the facts presented, juries act as "triers" of the evidence, utilizing their collective judgment to make determinations.

Therefore, the word "TRIERS" accurately encapsulates both the functions of judges, who apply the law to cases, and juries, who assess evidence and deliver decisions collectively.
