Who are veniremen?

Prospective members of the jury
Witnesses testifying in court
Legal advisors in trials

The correct answer is: Prospective members of the jury

Veniremen are individuals who are prospective members of the jury. When a case goes to trial, a pool of potential jurors is drawn from the community. These individuals, referred to as veniremen, are called to court to be questioned during the jury selection process, also known as voir dire. This process determines their suitability to serve on the jury based on their ability to be impartial and fair in the case being presented. The term derives from the Latin phrase "venire facias," which means "to cause to come." It's essential for the proper functioning of the judicial system that a jury is composed of unbiased individuals, making the role of veniremen pivotal in upholding the principles of justice.
