Preceding a burglary trial, the judge explained to the defendant. “You can choose a judge trial or a jury trial.  In the case of the former, I try your case.  In the case of the latter, a jury of your peers does.  Which one will you choose?”

The man was silent for a while.  He didn’t know what the word peers meant.  So, he asked, “What are peers?”

“They are laymen in law, people who are not engaged directly in law.  In other words, people like you, — your equals,” the judge explained in an easy-to-understand manner
