A quick definition of judicum subsortitio:

Term: JUDICUM SUBSORTITIO

Definition: Judicum subsortitio is a practice in Roman law where, if additional jurors are needed after each side has used their allotted challenges, eligible participants' names are drawn from an urn to serve as supplemental jurors.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Judicum subsortitio is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to the practice of selecting additional jurors, after peremptory challenges have been used up, by randomly drawing names from an urn of eligible participants.

For example, in a criminal trial, both the prosecution and defense may have the opportunity to use peremptory challenges to exclude potential jurors they believe may be biased against their case. Once these challenges have been exhausted, the court may use judicum subsortitio to select additional jurors from the remaining pool of eligible participants.

Another example could be in a civil trial, where the parties may have a limited number of peremptory challenges to use. If they use up all their challenges and there are still not enough jurors, the court may use judicum subsortitio to select additional jurors.

These examples illustrate how judicum subsortitio is used to ensure that a trial has a sufficient number of jurors to make a fair and impartial decision. By randomly selecting jurors from an urn, it helps to prevent any bias or favoritism in the selection process.

It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
