8-209. REQUIRED PROVISIONS -ALLOCATION OF QUALIFIED JURORS.
EACH JURY PLAN SHALL SET THE METHOD BY WHICH THE NAMES OF
QUALIFIED JURORS ARE TO BE ALLOCATED BETWEEN GRAND AND TRIAL JURIES.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the introductory language of former CJ § 8-202(4).
Reference to "qualified jurors" is substituted for the former reference to the
names from the qualified jury "wheel", to conform to former CJ §
8-208(a)(1), which provided for use of electronic or other devices besides a
"wheel".
Reference to a "trial" jury is substituted for the former reference to a
"petit" jury, in accordance with the Council on Jury Use and Management's
preference for language more understandable to the public.
Defined terms: "Jury plan" § 8-101
"Qualified juror" § 8-101
8-210. REQUIRED PROVISIONS - CHANGES FOR JURY JUDGE'S ATTENTION.
EACH JURY PLAN SHALL DETAIL CHANGES OF INFORMATION AS TO
PROSPECTIVE, QUALIFIED, AND SWORN JURORS ABOUT WHICH A JURY
COMMISSIONER IS TO INFORM A JURY JUDGE.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new and added to reflect the second
sentence of former CJ § 8-206(c) now revised CJ § 8-314(b) which imposed
a duty on a jury commissioner.
As to a jury judge, see revised CJ § 8-204.
Defined terms: "Jury commissioner" § 8-101
"Jury plan" § 8-101
"Prospective juror" § 8-101
"Qualified juror" § 8-101
8-211. REQUIRED PROVISIONS - GRAND JURY FOREPERSONS.
EACH JURY PLAN SHALL SET THE METHOD BY WHICH A FOREPERSON IS TO BE
CHOSEN FOR A GRAND JURY FROM AMONG ITS MEMBERS.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new language substituted for former
Public Local Laws, Art. 1 [Allegany County], § 53-3 and former Public
Local Laws, Art. 12 [Garrett County], § 58-4A and B, as they related to
selection by a judge of a grand jury foreperson. The substitution is
intended to ensure that every county has a set manner for selection,
approved by the Court of Appeals.
As to forepersons for trial juries, see Md. Rules 2-512(i) and 4-312(h).
Defined term: "Jury plan" § 8-101
