ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor S.B. 796
"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.
(A) DUTY AND RIGHT.
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.
RECOMMENDATIONS, IF ANY, FOR JURY SERVICE MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED.
(D) VOLUNTEERS BARRED.
VOLUNTEERS FOR JURY SERVICE SHALL BE REFUSED.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from former CJ § 8-102(b).
Subsection (b) of this section is new language derived from former CJ §
8-103.
Subsections (c) and (d) of this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former CJ § 8-104(b).
In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the word
"adult" is added to modify "citizen", to reflect the substance of former CJ §
8-104(a)(l) through (3) now revised CJ § 8-206(b)(l). As to "adult", see Art.
1, § 24 of the Code and revised CJ § 8-103(a)(l), and, as to State
citizenship, see Moore v. Illinois, 55 U.S. 13, 14 How. 13, 1852 WL 6776, 14
L.Ed. 306 (1852).
