A juror is one person on a jury: a group of ordinary people who sit in court, listen to a case, and then decide together — for example, whether someone did a crime, or who is right in a fight about money. The job is not to know the law like a judge. The job is to listen carefully and say what they believe happened. Though actually, many countries do not use juries at all, or they use them only for some cases. The word comes from an old idea of swearing: a juror swears to try to be fair and to tell the truth about what they decide.
陪審員。台灣現在是「國民法官」制，跟英美陪審團不完全一樣。
組成From Middle English jurour, from Anglo-Norman and Old French jureor, from the verb jurer (“to swear”); or possibly from Latin iūrātor. A juror is someone who has sworn. Doublet of the rare English word jurator.
