Notes on Meaning

• The primary and most common meaning of "phụ thẩm" is a lay judge or assessor who assists the professional judge. The translation "juror" is applicable, but it's important to distinguish it from the Anglo-American concept of a jury member ("bồi thẩm viên") who is part of a separate group deciding facts. In the Vietnamese context, "phụ thẩm" typically sits on the bench with the judge.
