§ 30a, which bars requiring jury service "whether such service is requested
by judicial summons or by some other means of compulsion".
Item (3) of this section is new and added to reflect the referenced 10 U.S.C.
§ 982, which enables a Secretary to exempt active duty members of the
armed forces. Implementing regulations appear in 32 C.F.R. Parts 144 and
516, pursuant to DoD Directive 5525.8.
Item (4) of this section is new language substituted for former CJ §
8-209(a)(l), which provided for exemption on certification of membership
alone. The referenced PS § 13-218 is added to narrow the exemption for
militia members, to be more consistent with the exemption for active
armed force members.
In the introductory language of this section, the word "individual" is
substituted for the former word "person" to emphasize that only a natural
being qualifies for jury service. As to "person", see Art. 1, § 15 of the Code.
In item (1) of this section, the former reference to a "clerk" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the newly defined term "jury commissioner".
Defined term: "Jury commissioner" § 8-101
8-307. RESERVED.
8-308. RESERVED.
PART II. QUALIFIED JURORS.
8-309. QUALIFIED JUROR
AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS NOT DISQUALIFIED, EXCUSED, OR EXEMPTED UNDER
PART I OF THIS SUBTITLE IS A QUALIFIED JUROR.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new language derived from the reference,
in former CJ § 8-208(a)(l), to "the names of all persons drawn from the
master jury wheel".
The word "individual" is substituted for the former word "persons", to
reflect that only a natural being qualifies for jury service. As to "person",
see Art. 1, § 15 of the Code.
The newly defined term "qualified juror" is substituted for the former
reference to a "wheel", to reflect former CJ § 8-202(2)(i), which provided for
use of electronic or other devices besides a "wheel" and to exclude those
individuals "disqualified, excused, or exempted".
Defined term: "Qualified juror" § 8-101
8-310. QUALIFIED JUROR POOL.
(A) SELECTION.
