JUDICUM SORTITIO

Judicum sortitio is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to the practice of selecting jurors by drawing their names from an urn containing the names of eligible participants. The English word "sortition" comes from this Latin term and means "the drawing or casting of lots."

During the Roman times, judicum sortitio was used to select jurors for trials. The names of eligible participants were written on pieces of paper and placed in an urn. A person would then draw the names from the urn until the required number of jurors was reached.

Today, sortition is still used in some countries to select members of a jury or to allocate political positions. For example, in Australia, sortition is used to select members of the Citizens' Jury, a group of citizens who are tasked with making recommendations on public policy issues.

The examples provided illustrate how sortition is still used today in some countries to select members of a jury or to allocate political positions.
