A quick definition of jury-packing:

Term: Jury-packing

Definition: Jury-packing is when someone tries to make sure that a jury is made up of people who already agree with one side or the other. This is not fair because a jury is supposed to be made up of people who are neutral and can make a fair decision based on the evidence presented. Jury-packing is also called packing a jury and is not allowed. It is like cheating in a game.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Jury-packing is when someone tries to create a jury that is already biased towards one side or the other. This is done by selecting people who are more likely to support a particular argument or outcome.

Example: If a lawyer knows that a certain group of people are more likely to support their client, they might try to pack the jury with those people. For example, if the case involves a dispute between a landlord and a tenant, the lawyer might try to select jurors who are also landlords or who have had positive experiences with landlords in the past. This would make it more likely that the jury would rule in favor of the landlord.

Explanation: This example illustrates how jury-packing works. By selecting jurors who are more likely to support one side, the lawyer is trying to influence the outcome of the trial. This is not fair to the other side, who should have a jury that is impartial and unbiased. Jury-packing is illegal and can result in a mistrial or other legal consequences.
