Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary A jury
consisting of persons with special qualities, such as advanced
education or special training, sometimes used in complicated
civil cases (with the parties' consent) and to investigate
suspected governmental corruption. Specialists in a technical
field are called a "blue-blue ribbon jury." Blue ribbon juries
are not allowed in criminal cases, because doing so would
violate a defendant's right to be tried by a jury of his peers.
