First Page Mentioned (By Name): ch. “The Homefront” – pg. 136

From the Latin ' sequester ' (trustee or mediator), the meaning of sequester has deviated some. It now means to isolate someone, so their opinions or views won't change during a process. It's most commonly used for legal processes, such as sequestering juries in order to insure they do not discuss the trial and can give better mediation of a verdict. It can also be used for witnesses, to insure their stories aren't altered by any outside influences. It is a common practice on Geb to do both, especially with extremely important cases.
