How do you pronounce it?

heya't-e monsefe

While هیئت منصفه is the standard translation for 'jury', Iran's legal system is based on civil law rather than common law and does not use juries in its courts.
The word منصفه comes from the root انصاف, which means 'equity' or 'justice'. It describes someone who can split something exactly in half to ensure absolute fairness.
The word هیئت was borrowed from the Arabic word هَيْئَة, which originally referred to the 'form' or 'configuration' of something.

هیئت منصفه‌ی عالی او را از هر جرمی بی‌گناه دانست.
A grand jury found him not guilty of any crime.
This sentence is useful for seeing how to describe a grand jury finding someone not guilty using هیئت منصفه.
