Remember that a dependent clause always contains a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand by itself. 1  Adverb clauses provide information about what is going on in the main (independent) clause: where, when, or why. 2  Adjective clauses work like multi-word adjectives. 3  Noun clauses can do anything that nouns can do.
An alternate juror is a spare, not unlike the spare tire for your car that rides along with you wherever you drive but is only used if one of your regular tires fails. Similarly, an alternate juror sits and listens to evidence just like the other jurors but only deliberates and votes if one of the sitting jury members is unable to serve.
Grand Jurors sit with 22 other jurors for a term of several months to consider evidence presented by the prosecutor. 1  Grand Jurors do not serve on a trial, like Trial Jurors. 2  The grand jury does not decide the guilt or innocence of the accused.  The grand juryâs work is a pre-trial function of the court.
