The article features a forthcoming change in trial jury jurisdiction: this type of legal court structure will be introduced in criminal cases in district courts and garrison military courts. The author studied the dynamics of legislative regulation of the jurisdiction of the trial jury in criminal cases and came to the conclusion that its decrease or increase may lead to undesirable consequences. The paper gives some examples of the legal regulation of the jurisdiction of trial jury in criminal cases in foreign countries. The author conducted a system analysis of criminal procedural legislation, legislation on security and anti-corruption, and various judicial practice materials. The research involved cases falling within the jurisdiction of trial jury as a result of the increasing use of jury institution. The author gives some justifiable doubts that criminal cases involving crimes under Art. 277 of the Code of Criminal should be trialed by jury.
