Time for resolution as jury split by two different articles (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

january

'time for resolution' is the definition.
(time for new year's resolutions)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Another definition for january that I've seen is " First month".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
