363: Challenges and directions to stand by
or “This part explained how people could be chosen or not chosen to be on a jury for a trial, but it's not used anymore.”
You could also call this:

“The judge tells people without a lawyer how to be careful in court”

This part of the law has been removed. It used to be about warning people who don’t have a lawyer in court, but it’s not part of the law anymore. The government took it out on 1 July 2013. If you want to know more about why this changed, you can look at section 6 of the Crimes Amendment Act (No 4) 2011.
