I have been googling for a couple of time but could not get a satisfactory answer. Do we say :
Defend a thesis in front of a jury
or
Defend a thesis before a jury

Both are fine, but I'd prefer "in front of"
I don't think that "Jury" is the term used in the UK. A jury is the people who decide if you are guilty in a criminal trial. "Jury" seems to be the word used in French. I think if you want to use "jury" you should say "viva jury" or similar. Otherwise "examination panel" or similar is more common.
You can also say "Defend a thesis in a viva" or "viva voce".
