A quick definition of juror:

Term: Juror

Definition: A juror is a person who serves on a jury in a trial. In some places, like New York, potential jurors are chosen randomly from a group of people who live in the same area as the court. They can be picked from lists of registered voters, car owners, taxpayers, and people who receive unemployment benefits. Jurors have to meet certain requirements, like being a citizen of the United States, being at least 18 years old, and not having been convicted of a serious crime. During the trial, jurors listen to the evidence and decide if the person on trial is guilty or not guilty.

A more thorough explanation:

A juror is a person who serves on a jury during a trial. In New York, potential jurors are chosen randomly from a diverse group of people in the county or other governmental subdivision where the court is located. The names of potential jurors may come from lists of registered voters, licensed operators or registered owners of motor vehicles, state and local taxpayers, persons receiving state unemployment benefits, and volunteers. Jurors are then selected from a panel of potential candidates through the process of jury selection.

Each state has different requirements for jury service eligibility. For federal jury service, an individual must:

  • Be a United States citizen
  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Be a resident of the judicial county
  • Be able to communicate in English
  • Not have been convicted of a felony

For example, if a person is registered to vote in New York and is randomly selected to serve on a jury, they may be required to attend court and participate in the trial. If they meet the eligibility requirements and are selected from the panel of potential jurors, they will serve as a juror during the trial.

@shaquilleoatmeal: OH my fave song. it’s about a girl and she’s comparing her features to random things. the song is called “and her eyes” and she starts off by comparing her eyes to a cup of coffee and then she compares her teeth/smile to coral and the chorus is about how beautiful dark eyes are it’s SOOOO CUTE
