what does empaneling a jury mean?
Posted December 11, 2011 3:54am. To empanel a jury means to select the jury and seat them for jury service. This occurs at the trial court level. In an appellate context, it would only apply to an appeal from a lower court, such as a justice of the peace or county court at law.
