Ch. 372 2006 LAWS OF MARYLAND
Former Public Local Laws, Art. 4 [Baltimore City], § 7-10, which deemed
the Public Local Laws "relating to the mode of drawing and summoning
jurors" to be "directory" and barred quashing an indictment or
presentment, reversing or staying a judgment, or challenging an array
based on noncompliance with "the provisions of law relating to the drawing
of jurors in the City of Baltimore", is deleted as inconsistent with
postconviction proceedings, referenced in former CJ § 8-211(e) now
subsection (b) of this section and challenges, provided for in former CJ §
8-211 now revised CJ §§ 8-408 and 8-409.
Defined terms: "Circuit court" § 1-101
"Jury plan" § 8-101
SUBTITLE 2. JURY PLAN.
8-201. REQUIRED.
EACH CIRCUIT COURT SHALL HAVE A WRITTEN PLAN FOR JURY SELECTION
AND SERVICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS TITLE.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new language derived from former CJ §
8-201(a)(l).
Reference to a plan for "jury selection and service" is substituted for the
former reference to a plan for "random selection of grand and petit jurors",
to reflect that the requirements extend beyond individual jurors to the
entire jury and beyond selection. See, e.g., former CJ § 8-211 now
generally revised CJ §§ 8-408 and 8-409.
Reference to "requirements" is substituted for the former reference to
"objectives", to reflect that former CJ § 8-102(a) now revised CJ § 8-104
imposes a duty.
The former phrase "of a county" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the
definition of "circuit court".
Except for the provisions as to grand jury forepersons (see revised CJ §
8-211), former Public Local Laws, Art. 1 [Allegany County], §§ 53-1
through 53-3 and former Public Local Laws, Art. 12 [Garrett County], §§
58-3 through 58-5 and 58-7, which provided details for selection in those
counties, are deleted as obsolete, the most current amendments being Ch.
158, Acts of 1951, and Ch. 837, Acts of 1914, respectively.
Defined term: "Circuit court" § 1-101
8-202. RULES.
THE COURT OF APPEALS MAY ADOPT RULES TO GOVERN THE PROVISIONS AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF JURY PLANS.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former CJ § 8-201(a)(2).
