COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language derived
from former CJ § 8-205(a) and revised to clarify that the decision as to the
number needed is the jury commissioner's.
Subsection (b) of this section is new and added to distinguish this pool from
the source and qualified juror pools.
In subsection (a) of this section, reference to "each interval set in a jury
plan" is substituted for the former requirement "[w]hen directed by the
circuit court of a county", for consistency with former CJ § 8-202(2)(ii) now
revised CJ § 8-207(a).
Also in subsection (a) of this section, reference to having names "selected"
is substituted for the former duty to "publicly draw", and the newly defined
term "source pool" is substituted for the former, obsolete term "master jury
wheel", in light of the use of computers. Similarly, former CJ § 8-205(b),
which required preparation of an "alphabetical list" and restricted its
disclosure, is deleted.
Also in subsection (a) 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) of this section, the former reference to selection by "a
judge of the court" is deleted for consistency with former CJ § 8-301(a)
through (d) now revised CJ § 8-310(a)(2) which imposed the duty on the
jury commissioner.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to selection by
"the clerk" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the definition of "jury
commissioner".
As to "county", see Art. 1, § 14 of the Code.
Defined terms: "Jury commissioner" § 8-101
