(II) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (3) OF THIS SUBSECTION,
AT LEAST 0.5% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF NAMES IN THE SOURCE POOL.
(3) IF THE MINIMUM PERCENTAGE UNDER PARAGRAPH (2)(II) OF THIS
SUBSECTION WOULD BE CUMBERSOME AND UNNECESSARY, A JURY PLAN MAY SET A
SMALLER NUMBER
(4) A JURY JUDGE FOR A COUNTY MAY ORDER ITS JURY COMMISSIONER
TO HAVE ADDITIONAL NAMES SELECTED FROM THE COUNTY'S SOURCE POOL AS THE
JUDGE CONSIDERS NECESSARY.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language derived
from the introductory language of former CJ § 8-202 and the fourth
sentence of (2)(ii) and revised to apply to creation of a "qualified" jury pool,
as well as a "prospective juror pool" (formerly referred to as a "master jury
wheel"). The revision, and the substitution in subsections (b)(1), (2)(ii), and
(4) of this section of references to selecting names from the "source pool" for
the former references to placing names "initially in the master jury wheel"
and "master wheel", conform to former CJ § 8-202(2)(i), which provided for
use of electronic or other devices besides a wheel.
Subsection (b) of this section is new language derived from the first
through third sentences of former CJ § 8-202(2)(ii).
In subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the former reference to setting a
"larger" number if the minimum number is "inadequate" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the words "at least".
As to a jury judge, see revised CJ § 8-204.
As to "county", see Art. 1, § 14 of the Code.
Defined terms: "Jury commissioner" § 8-101
"Jury plan" § 8-101
"Prospective juror" § 8-101
"Qualified juror" § 8-101
"Source pool" § 8-101
8-208. REQUIRED PROVISIONS - SERVICE.
EACH JURY PLAN SHALL SET THE METHOD BY WHICH SUMMONSES FOR JURY
SERVICE ARE TO BE SERVED.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new and added to reflect the addition of
revised CJ § 8-401(a)(2) substituted for the second sentence of former CJ §
8-208(b), which required service "personally, by certified mail, return
receipt requested, bearing a postmark from the United States Postal
Service, or by first-class mail", to accommodate alternative forms of
delivery.
Defined term: "Jury plan" § 8-101
