A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Habeas corpora juratorum is a Latin term used in law that means "that you have the bodies of the jurors." It refers to a writ that was used in the past to command the sheriff to bring in jurors for a trial setting. If necessary, the sheriff could take their lands and goods as security to ensure their attendance in court.
