juror
A juror is a member of a jury, a group of ordinary people selected to listen to evidence in a court trial and help decide whether someone is guilty or not guilty of a crime, or responsible or not responsible in a civil case. Jurors are impartial and follow the judge’s instructions, reviewing the facts and applying the law to reach a fair verdict. Their role is essential to the justice system, ensuring that legal decisions are made by a jury of peers rather than solely by a judge.
