JURAT (through Fr. from med. Lat. juratus, one sworn, Lat. jurare, to swear)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 570 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
JURAT (through Fr. from med. Lat. juratus, one sworn, Lat. jurare, to swear) , a name given to the sworn holders of certain offices. Under the ancien regime in France, in several towns, of the
south
 -west, such as 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. There are two bodies, consisting each of twelve jurats, for
Jersey
  and the bailiwick of
Guernsey
  respectively. They are elected for life, in
Jersey
  by the ratepayers, in
Guernsey
  by the elective states. They form, with the bailiff as presiding judge, the royal
court
  of
justice
 , and are a constituent
part
  of the legislative bodies. In English law, the word
jurat
  (juratum) is applied to that
part
  of an
affidavit
  which contains the names of the parties swearing the
affidavit
  and the person before whom it was sworn, the date, place and other necessary particulars.
