La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que el "grand jury" norteamericano no puede traducirse por el término "jurado" a secas, ya que no es el grupo de personas encargadas de emitir un veredicto. En el sistema judicial estadounidense el "grand jury" tiene competencias para investigar y decide si hay causa suficiente para llevar un caso a juicio. En español pueden emplearse las formas "gran jurado", "jurado de acusación" o "jurado de investigación".  2, fiche 3, Espagnol, - jurado%20de%20acusaci%C3%B3n

Courts have experimented with replacements for foreman, e.g.: "[W]e are unable to conclude that the state trial judge erred in deciding that the foreperson’s statement that the jury was unable to agree was more than an expression of present inability to agree." Fay v. McCotter, 765F, 2d, 475, 478 (5th Cir. 1985). Stylists generally acknowledge that the -person words are ugly and ineffective, although chairperson lingers on. (See chairman.)
