When it's used

This idiom is often used in both informal and formal discussions to indicate that there is no consensus yet on an issue. It is common in everyday speech and in media contexts.

The common mistake

Spanish speakers sometimes mistakenly say 'the jury is on', omitting 'out'. This alters the meaning and does not convey the idea of uncertainty that the correct idiom does.
