About

The word 陪审员 is formed from three characters: 陪, which means "to accompany" or "assist"; 审, which means "to judge" or "try"; and 员, which means "person" or "member". Combined, they literally mean "assisting judging person", directly referring to a juror who participates in a trial by hearing evidence and helping reach a verdict.
