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.

Judicum sortitio is a method of selecting jurors that was used in ancient Rome. The practice involved drawing names from an urn to ensure a fair and impartial selection process. The examples provided illustrate how sortition is still used today in some countries to select members of a jury or to allocate political positions. This method ensures that the selection process is random and unbiased, which is important for ensuring a fair and just outcome.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
