Read the text.
A jury is a body of laymen and women who provide a decision in legal proceedings. Their names are randomly selected from the Electoral Register (the people who can vote in elections). The jury traditionally consists of 12 people (Jurors) who are ordinary people. They listen to the evidence given in court in certain criminal cases and decide if the defendant is guilty or innocent. If the person is found guilty, the judge passes the sentence.
The first step in the selection of the trial jury is the selection of a ‘jury panel’. If a person is selected for a jury panel he/she is directed to report to the courtroom. The judge will tell the jurors about the case, introduce the lawyers and the people involved in the case. The jurors will take an oath, by which they promise to answer all the questions truthfully. The judge and the lawyers will ask the jurors a lot of questions to find out if they have a personal interest in the case. During this process of asking questions the lawyers may ask the judge to excuse a member of the jury from sitting on the jury for this particular case. This is called challenging a juror. There are two types of challenges: a challenge for cause (a lawyer has some specific reason to think that the juror cannot be impartial) and a peremptory challenge (the lawyer does not have to state a reason for the excuse of the juror).
Those jurors who have not been challenged become the jury for the case. The judge may allow selection of one or more alternative jurors, who will serve if one of the jurors is unable to do so because of illness or some other reason.
