A quick definition of sheriff's jury:

A sheriff's jury is a group of people chosen by law to decide if someone is guilty or not guilty of a crime. They listen to the facts of the case and then make a decision, called a verdict. A sheriff's jury is similar to other types of juries, like a grand jury or a petit jury, but it is specifically chosen by the sheriff.

A more thorough explanation:

A sheriff's jury is a group of people selected according to the law and given the power to decide questions of fact and return a verdict in the case submitted to them. It is similar to a regular jury, but it is summoned by a sheriff instead of a court.

For example, if there is a dispute over property boundaries, a sheriff's jury may be called to determine the correct boundary line. The sheriff's jury will hear evidence from both sides and then make a decision based on the facts presented to them.

Another example is a coroner's jury, which is a type of sheriff's jury summoned by a coroner to investigate the cause of death. The coroner's jury will hear evidence from witnesses and experts to determine the cause of death.

Overall, a sheriff's jury is a group of people who are selected to make a decision based on the facts presented to them in a specific case.
