jurat (plural jurats)

   The affidavit's jurat reads "Sworn this __ day of ________, 20__, before me" and is followed by the notary's signature. Looks like she forgot to fill it in.

2. (law, obsolete) A sworn person, particularly:
   1. (law, historical) A medieval informant: a man sworn to provide information about crimes committed in his neighborhood.
   2. (law, obsolete) A juror.
   3. A councilman or alderman of the Cinque Ports.
   4. A magistrate of Channel Islands, serving for life, who forms part of the islands' royal court.

      Guernsey and Jersey have twelve jurats each, and Alderney six.

      • 1974, GB Edwards, The Book of Ebenezer Le Page, New York, published 2007, page 179:

        The Jurat came of a good old Guernsey family which, in the Middle Ages, always had the sense to fight on the side paid best [...].

   5. (historical) A municipal officer of Bordeaux and certain other French towns.
   6. (historical, in French contexts) A member of any association sworn to do nothing against its internal rules.
