Meaning of "talesmen" in English

In English, "talesmen" refers to individuals summoned from bystanders or a list of citizens to complete a jury when there aren't enough jurors available from the original pool.

The word "talesmen" originates from the practice of summoning additional people to fill gaps in the jury and derives from the legal term "tales," meaning "such" or "of such kind."

Meaning of "talesmen" in French

In French, "talesmen" can be considered a borrowed term used in specific legal contexts to describe individuals brought in to complete a jury panel when the initial group is insufficient. The term does not typically appear in general French legal language, as the French jury system differs somewhat from the Anglo-Saxon model where such terminologies are more prevalent. Its usage in French legal discourse can be rare or specialized.
