The Special Jury was a Federation procedure used to conduct trials against enemy combatants accused of committing war crimes.

A Special Jury was assembled in 2374 to try Gul Dukat after the loss of Terok Nor to the Federation. Although Captain Benjamin Sisko was scheduled to testify against Dukat at the trial and knew he would likely be convicted, he didn't have the courage to admit this to Dukat's face. (DS9: "Waltz")
