Juror

Procedure, Judge, Juror, Witness

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Procedure, Judge, Juror, Witness (1): If there are no rules of procedure prescribed by the church tribunal, the proper practice is to follow the State courts; as, for example, where the State law forbids an officer of the court who has an interest in the proceeding to sit as judge or juror, the same would apply to the church tribunal, it being the common law of the land. Also, in States where a person who is interested in a matter is not a competent witness, in the absence of a different rule in the church, the same rule would apply in the church tribunal.371
