... (1). SUBJECT TO PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS SUBSECTION, A JURY
COMMISSIONER SHALL ALLOCATE NAMES FROM THE QUALIFIED JUROR POOL TO
GRAND AND TRIAL JURIES AS THE JURY PLAN PROVIDES.
(2) EXCEPT AS NEEDED TO COMPLETE SERVICE IN A PARTICULAR CASE
OR AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN A JURY PLAN, AN INDIVIDUAL MAY NOT BE
REQUIRED, IN ANY 3-YEAR PERIOD, TO SERVE OR ATTEND COURT FOR PROSPECTIVE
SERVICE AS A TRIAL JUROR MORE THAN ONCE.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a)(1) of this section is new language derived
from former CJ § 8-208(a)(l), except for the reference to names, and (2)
and (3), except as to assignment to a grand or trial jury, and revised to
clarify the decision as to the number of jury commissioners.
Subsection (a)(2) of this section is new language derived without
substantive change from former CJ § 8-301(e).
Subsection (b) of this section is new and added to distinguish this pool from
the source and prospective juror pools.
Subsection (c)(1) of this section is new language, substituted for former CJ
§ 8-208(a)(2) and (3), as to assignment to a grand or trial jury, in light of
former CJ § 8-202(4) now revised CJ § 8-209.
Subsection (c)(2) of this section is new language derived without
substantive change from former CJ § 8-209(b)(l).
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, reference to "each interval set in a jury
plan" is substituted for the former requirement "[w]hen necessary", for
consistency with former CJ § 8-202(2)(ii) now revised CJ § 8-207(a).
Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, reference to having names "of
qualified jurors selected" is substituted for the former duty to "publicly
draw" from the "qualified jury wheel", in light of the use of computers.
Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former phrase "at random" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of former CJ § 8-102(a) now revised CJ §
8-104.
Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former references to a "clerk"
are deleted, and in subsection (a)(2) of this section, the newly defined term
"jury commissioner" is substituted for the former, incomplete reference to
the "clerk of the court", to conform to former CJ § 8-202(1) now revised CJ
§ 8-205 which imposed duties in connection with jury selection on a jury
commissioner or clerk acting as such.
The introductory phrase of subsection (a)(2) of this section, "[s]ubject to §
8-421 of this title", is added to reflect that, under the referenced provision,
a trial judge may dispense with minimum, arrays with the consent of the
parties.
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the word "otherwise" is added to
