A jury panel refers to a group of individuals summoned to appear for jury duty in a court case. These individuals are randomly selected from a pool of eligible citizens within a specific jurisdiction. During the jury selection process, potential jurors are questioned by the judge and attorneys to determine their suitability to serve on a particular case. From the jury panel, a certain number of jurors are selected to serve on the jury for the trial based on their impartiality, ability to follow the law, and lack of bias. The composition of the jury panel aims to ensure a fair and diverse representation of the community in the jury selection process.
