juror
Definition
Citizen serving as a member of jury. He or she is usually selected from the electoral register of a constituency within the court's jurisdiction. He or she must swear to answer all questions (posed by the judge or the involved lawyers) truthfully, and give a verdict according to the merits of the evidence presented. Reasons for which a person may not be selected as a juror include (1) personal knowledge of the case, (2) prejudice about the issues to be tried, (3) close relationship with the either opposing party, or (4) a business relationship with one of the involved lawyers.
