What is a Panel of jurors?

A panel of jurors, often referred to as a jury, is a group of individuals selected from the community to hear evidence in a legal trial and render a verdict. Jurors are tasked with evaluating the facts presented during the trial and applying the law as instructed by the judge. The size of a jury can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of case, typically consisting of 6 to 12 members.
