Trial by jury does not exist in our country as Colombia is a Civil-Law jurisdiction whilst said practice is more often used in Common-Law jurisdictions. Thus, a judge determines all matters of law. When a proceeding undergoes an appeal or an extraordinary resource, it would be decided by a Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court, in which the number of judges (named magistrates) varies from 3 to 25, depending on the Court and the level of the appeal.
However, mostly all judicial proceedings in Colombia are now verbal and the same are carried out in filmed and recorded hearings.
