A quick definition of jury box:

Term: Jury Box

Definition: The jury box is a special area in a courtroom where the jurors sit during a trial. It is usually enclosed and has good visibility of the judge, the lawyers, and the witness stand. In some places, the jury box method is used to select jurors for a trial from people sitting in the box.

A more thorough explanation:

The jury box is a part of a courtroom where jurors sit during a trial. It is usually enclosed and situated in a way that allows jurors to see the judge, attorney's podium, and witness stand.

In New York, the "jury box method" is used to select jurors and alternate jurors from individuals sitting in the box. This process includes peremptory challenges, which allow attorneys to remove potential jurors without giving a reason.

For example, during a trial, the jurors will sit in the jury box and listen to the evidence presented by both sides. The judge and attorneys will also be able to see the jurors and address them directly.

Another example is during the jury selection process, where potential jurors will be seated in the jury box and questioned by the judge and attorneys to determine if they are suitable to serve on the jury.
