To compel one to present information to a jury is done by order of a judge. If a judge believes the individual has information relevant to the cause, he can "force" that person to present that information or be subject to arrest for contempt of court. ==Compellability== In the United States, the 5th Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees that defendants cannot be compelled in criminal proceedings against themselves. In Australia, the Criminal Procedure Act establishes a similar protection for defendants, and also for their spouses and immediate family. In Canada, anti-terrorism clauses that were brought in in 2001 but were sunset in 2007 allowed a judge to compel a witness to testify in secret about past associations or perhaps pending acts under penalty of going to jail if the witness didn't comply.〔http://ca.news.yahoo.com/harper-says-islamicism-biggest-threat-canada-032041587.html〕 Compel also means to lure to do something. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Compel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
