8-202(2)(ii)). The addition reflects former CJ § 8-202(2)(i), which
authorized use of electronic or other devices besides a "wheel".
Defined term: "Source pool" § 8-101
(E) QUALIFIED JUROR
"QUALIFIED JUROR" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO, AFTER SELECTION AS A
PROSPECTIVE JUROR, IS NOT DISQUALIFIED, EXCUSED, OR EXEMPTED.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This subsection is new and added to allow consistent
reference to individuals at the stage in the selection process after
qualification, formerly called "names drawn from the qualified jury wheel"
(former CJ § 8-202(3) and (4)) and "names of all persons drawn from the
master jury wheel who are determined to be qualified as jurors under §
8-207 and not exempt under § 8-209 or excused under § 8-210" (former CJ
§ 8-208(a)(l)). The addition reflects former CJ § 8-208(a)(l), which
authorized use of electronic or other devices besides a "wheel".
Defined term: "Prospective juror" § 8-101
(F) SOURCE POOL.
"SOURCE POOL" MEANS A POOL FROM WHICH THE NAME OF EACH
PROSPECTIVE JUROR IS TO BE SELECTED AS PROVIDED UNDER A JURY PLAN.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This subsection is new and added to allow consistent
reference to the compilation of lists used as the initial source of prospective
jurors.
Defined terms: "Jury plan" § 8-101
"Prospective juror" § 8-101
COMMITTEE NOTE TO SECTION: Former CJ § 8-101(b), which defined
"court", is deleted as unnecessary, because "circuit court" is substituted for
"court" as appropriate throughout this revised title. The deletion avoids
possible confusion with "court" as defined in current CJ § 1-101(c). As to
"circuit court", see current CJ § 1-101(b).
8-102. DUTY AND RIGHTS...

EACH ADULT CITIZEN OF THIS STATE HAS:
(1) THE OPPORTUNITY FOR JURY SERVICE; AND
(2) WHEN SUMMONED FOR JURY SERVICE, THE DUTY TO SERVE.
(B) DISCRIMINATION BARRED.
A CITIZEN MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED FROM JURY SERVICE DUE TO COLOR,
DISABILITY, ECONOMIC STATUS, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RACE, RELIGION, OR SEX.
(C) RECOMMENDATIONS BARRED.
