A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “alternate” refers to a person or thing that serves as a substitute or replacement for another, typically in a specific order or sequence. It can also refer to a person who is designated to act in place of another in case of their absence or incapacity.
Example: The court appointed an alternate juror in case one of the original jurors became unable to fulfill their duty during the trial.
