cullen,
Here is my translation. :)
First use in English around early 14th century (from authenticated 12th century Anglo-Latin origin, i.e. Church and Law Latin used in England)
also from the Anglo-French source word juree (the French spoken in England) late 13th century
-also from Medeival Latin iurata "an oath, an inquest," feminine past participle of Latin - iurare "to swear," from ius (genitive- iuris) "law"
The expression "Grand jury" attested from early 15th century in Anglo-French. (le grand Jurre).
jury --meaning "body of persons chosen to award prizes at an exhibition" is from 1851.
