shower

Read a random definition: secured claim

A quick definition of shower:

A shower is a person who takes jurors to a place so they can see it and understand the case they are working on. Sometimes, a jury needs to see something that can't be brought to the courtroom, so they go on a trip to look at it. The shower is there to help them get there and make sure everything is done correctly. It's like going on a field trip for school, but for a court case.

A more thorough explanation:

A shower is a person who is appointed by a court to take jurors to a place so that they can observe it while considering a case they are sitting on. This is usually done when the object or place in question cannot be brought to the court.

For example, if a case involves a crime scene, the jury may need to visit the location to better understand the evidence. The shower's job is to accompany the jurors and ensure that they have a safe and secure visit.

Shower is also used in a real action, where a defendant may observe the thing at issue to ascertain its identity and other circumstances surrounding it.

Overall, a shower is an important role in the legal system that helps ensure that jurors have all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
