Georgia v. Brailsford 3 U.S. 1 (1794) was an early United States Supreme Court case where the presiding judge of the Court instructed the jury in part that a jury has a right to judge the law as well as the facts. This case is often cited as precedent by proponents of jury nullification. One scholar has argued that the jury the Supreme Court used in this case was a special jury of merchants of the type used by Lord Mansfield.
