Put on list for jury service, Hob's getting off plane (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impanel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put on list for jury' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'service hob's getting off plane' is the wordplay.
'service hob' becomes 'im' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'plane' with letters rearranged gives 'panel'.
'im'+'panel'='IMPANEL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for impanel that I've seen before include "recruit to jury" , "Make judges" .)
