About

The word "陪审团" (jury) is formed by combining three meaningful characters: "陪" (péi) meaning to accompany or assist, "审" (shěn) meaning to judge or try a case, and "团" (tuán) meaning a group or collective. The term conceptually builds from the idea of a "group" that "assists in the judgment", directly and visually describing the function of a body of citizens who participate in a court to aid in reaching a verdict alongside a judge.
