The setting of the Jury Trial in the country often places the prosecution and defense in a visually unequal position during the trial, with defendants and defense attorneys positioned far from the presiding judge, while members of the Public Ministry (prosecution) are seated on the right side of the judge. This configuration creates a visual disparity between the parties, contradicting the constitutional principles established in the CRFB/88.With the goal of reflecting on this matter, the first chapter presents the concept, origin, and historical context of the Jury Trial in Brazil, also discussing the inherent principles of the Jury Trial, such as the principles of full defense, secret ballot, and sovereignty of verdicts. The subsequent focus of the work is on the actors comprising the courtrooms in Brazil. Finally, it examines the architectural organization and scenic (dis)parity in Brazilian jury trial sessions, considering the principle of the jurors' intimate conviction and subsequent judgments and discussions by Brazilian legal institutions on the topic. Above all, the aim is to analyze whether the architecture constituting the setting of Brazilian criminal courtrooms, particularly in jury trials, adheres to the principle of equality of arms crucial for the formation of verdicts. The research methodology employed involved bibliographic research and legislative analysis, with a deductive approach.pt-BRDireitoTribunal do JúriMinistério PúblicoDefesaTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
