EXPLAINS HOW
JURORS NAMES
ARE SELECTED
NUMBER PLACED in
BOX EACH YEAR; WHEN Elk
HAUsTED LIST is THEN RE-
PLENlsHED

i K 81
During the past few weeks,
when many names have been
drawn from the jury box, numbers
of citizens have remarked on the
fact that their names have never
been drawn for jury duty.
AS a matter of fact, according
to records, their names have, pos
sibly, never been placed in the
box. And if there remained with
out ever having been even touch
ed by the judge of either the cir
cult or criminal court.
The law regarding the selec-
ton Of juries was told to The Citi-
zen by Clerk Ross c. Sawyer and
the facts are herewith briefly cit
ed for the benefit of the public:
Names are selected in January
of each year by the board of coun-
ty commissioners. The law pro-
vides that from 45O to $50 may
be selected in counties where there
are both circuit and criminal
courts. This year ST. names were
placed in the box.
Jurors must have lived in Flor
ida one year and in the county six
months. Must be over the age of
81 and never convicted of felony.
As rule selections are made from
the qualified list of electors.
When the names have been
checked and approved they are
folded up in the presence of the
clerk. county Judge and sheriff,
placed in the box which is locked
and sealed. The clerk has custody
of the box and the sheriff is keep
er of the keys.
When court convenes and list
of jurors drawn, the name slips
are placed in an envelope which is
sealed and the date, nature of the
case and all other data carried on
the face of the envelope and made
a matter of record. Each clerk
of court keeps the individual rec
ords of names drawn for jury
duty.
In the event that the names in
the box are exhausted. in any one
year, which may happen before the
end of this year. it is said, the
judge of the circuit issues an order
for other names to be selected and
placed in the box. The number or
dered is optional with the Judge.
