A more thorough explanation:

A traverse jury is a group of people selected according to the law to decide questions of fact and return a verdict in a specific case. It is also known as a petit jury or trial jury.

For example, in a criminal trial, a traverse jury is empaneled to hear the evidence presented by both the prosecution and defense and then decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of the charges brought against them.

The traverse jury is different from other types of juries, such as a grand jury, which is responsible for deciding whether there is enough evidence to bring charges against a person, or an advisory jury, which provides a non-binding opinion to the judge in a case where the parties have no right to a jury trial.
