Hi all ! The answer to last weeks quiz is d) layperson.
Here is our definition from our book "The English Legal System: Vocabulary Series":
Layperson (person): This word is used to describe a person who is not a qualified lawyer or expert in a legal field. It is an informal word but it is commonly used, especially in the world of legal English as it is important that the layperson understands legal terms as well as the lawyers. A practical example of a layperson would be in a magistrate’s court where one judge and 2 laypeople will sit on the bench, hear the case and decide the verdict. Associated Words: Bench (noun), Verdict (noun).
Have a lovely weekend.
