Etymology

The term 'impanelling' originates from the combination of the prefix 'in-' meaning 'into' and 'panel', which refers to a group of people assembled for a specific purpose. The term 'panel' itself comes from the Old French word 'panel', which originally meant a cloth or piece of fabric, and later evolved to signify a group of individuals gathered for juristic purposes. The use of 'impanelling' in a legal context dates back to the late 14th century, reflecting the establishment of formal processes in judicial systems. Over time, it became standard legal terminology in English-speaking jurisdictions, capturing the essence of jury organization in trials.
