What a jury?

What a jury?
courta trail
------the Constitution provides for a trial "with a jury of your peers". Different states have different ways of selecting the jury pool (the larger group that the final jury is chosen from). Some use voter registration, some add in drivers licenses in order to include as many people as possible in the potential pool. 
In "trial juries" the counsel for each party has the right to challange the jurors who they think might not be impartial.
