Jurat
The ''jurats'' () are lay people in Guernsey and Jersey who act as judges of fact rather than law, though they preside over land conveyances and liquor licensing. In Alderney, however, the jurats are judges of both fact and law (assisted by their learned clerk) in both civil and criminal matters. Etymology The term derives from the Latin ''iūrātus'', "sworn an. History Under the ''Ancien Régime'' in France, in several towns, of the south-west, such as La Rochelle and Bordeaux, the jurats were members of the municipal body. The title was also borne by officials, corresponding to aldermen, in the Cinque Ports, but is now chiefly used as a title of office in the Channel Islands.

In Guernsey and Jersey, the jurats, as lay people, are judges of fact rather than law, though they pre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
