   The clerk of the circuit court of the county shall be the jury coordinator unless the judge or judges who hold circuit or criminal court in such county appoint someone other than the clerk to serve as the jury coordinator. The jury coordinator, whether it be the clerk or a person appointed by the judges, shall perform all the duties required of the jury coordinator by this title. However, the judges may, in their discretion, distribute the jury coordinator's duties between the circuit court clerk and an appointed jury coordinator.   Before entering upon the duties as jury coordinator, the clerk of the circuit court, or the person filling any separate jury coordinator position, shall take and subscribe, before an officer authorized to administer oaths, the following oath:  “I,  , do solemnly swear or affirm that I will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties imposed upon me as jury coordinator for  County to the best of my knowledge and ability; that I will never place the name of any person on the jury list or in the jury box whom I know to be unqualified to serve as a juror, or who has to my knowledge solicited or had others to solicit that the person's own name be placed on the jury list or in the jury box, so help me God.”    If the circuit court clerk serving as jury coordinator becomes ill or is absent for any cause when the jury coordinator's services are required, the clerk's deputy may take the oath prescribed for the jury coordinator and thereafter perform the jury coordinator duties in the clerk's absence. If the jury coordinator is a person other than the circuit court clerk, the circuit court clerk may serve as jury coordinator in the jury coordinator's absence after taking the required oath.     If the judges appoint a person other than the circuit court clerk to serve as jury coordinator, compensation for the jury coordinator shall be set by the legislative body of the county or the legislative body of the metropolitan government of any county having a metropolitan form of government.

The jury coordinator is prohibited from using the permanent voter registration records as a source to compile the jury list.   The jury coordinator shall repeat this procedure as often as reasonably necessary, but in no event may a list be retained for more than two (2) years.  Prior to repeating this procedure and compiling a new jury list, no person may add to or take from the existing list, except as provided in this part.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 22 - Juries and Jurors|Chapter 2 - Selection and Attendance of Jurors|Part 3 - Jury Selection and Attendance|§ 22-2-309. Attendance of Jurors — Excuse Upon Showing of Sufficient Cause

If a person who has been summoned but not excused or discharged pursuant to subsection (a) fails to appear for service or otherwise respond as directed, a show cause order shall issue and be served upon the person, requiring the person to appear at a date certain and show cause why the person should not be held in civil contempt of court for the person's failure to appear.   Upon the appearance of any person served with a show cause order, the person may make the person's excuse known.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 22 - Juries and Jurors|Chapter 2 - Selection and Attendance of Jurors|Part 3 - Jury Selection and Attendance|§ 22-2-310. Impaneling Jurors — Additional Jurors

  The members of the grand and petit juries shall be made up as provided by law from the jury pool. In the event the original jury pool does not include a sufficient number of jurors, courts shall follow the procedures in subsection (b) for securing additional jurors. These additional names shall supplement, not replace, the original jury pool. These procedures shall be repeated, as necessary, until the grand and petit juries are completed.    Regardless of whether a county utilizes the automated or manual method of jury selection, additional names shall be selected for the special jury pool in the same manner this part provides for the selection of the original jury pool. Likewise, these members of the special jury pool shall be summoned in the manner specified in § 22-2-307.   In the event the presiding judge of the judicial district is unavailable for good cause, any judge of the court for which the jury pool is being selected may perform the duties required of the presiding judge.      If a judge presiding over a trial discovers that the number of jurors constituting the panel, or venire, assigned to the trial is not adequate to secure a petit jury and that the jury pool has been exhausted or contains an insufficient number of jurors, the judge shall direct the jury coordinator to comply with subsection (b) unless the trial is pending in a county that utilizes the manual method of jury selection. In that event, the judge shall direct the jury coordinator to produce the jury box in open court, the judge shall open the box, and there shall be drawn from the box, as directed by the judge, the number of names deemed by the judge to be sufficient to secure a petit jury for that trial. These prospective jurors shall be summoned by personal service pursuant to § 22-2-307(b) if time constraints preclude compliance with the notice requirement in § 22-2-307(a).   If a judge causes the jury box to be unlocked pursuant to subdivision (c)(1), the judge shall cause it to be relocked and sealed by the jury coordinator, and the judge shall write the judge's own name across the seal. The box then shall be returned by the jury coordinator to its place of keeping.     In the event the names of jurors are selected pursuant to subsection (c) for service in a particular trial, the jury coordinator shall make a list of such names, but the names shall not be removed from the jury list and, in counties utilizing the manual method of jury selection, shall be returned to the jury box.  Service on a jury pursuant to subsection (c) does not constitute jury service for purposes of § 22-2-314, and shall not disqualify or excuse any person from service on the regular juries if the person's name is regularly drawn.   Jurors selected pursuant to this section may be excused for good cause.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 22 - Juries and Jurors|Chapter 2 - Selection and Attendance of Jurors|Part 3 - Jury Selection and Attendance|§ 22-2-311. Jury Coordinator’s Report in First Day’s Minutes — Investigation of Irregularities

  At the beginning of the jury service term, the presiding judge of a judicial district that utilizes the manual method of jury selection shall compare the jury coordinator's report with the original tickets or cards contained in the sealed envelope. If they correspond, they shall constitute the jury pool for the jury service term, and the report shall be spread on record in the caption of the first day's minutes. Absent any identifiable irregularities in the jury selection process, the presiding judge of a judicial district that utilizes the automated method of jury selection likewise shall spread the jury coordinator's report on the first day's minutes, and the names listed in the report shall constitute the jury pool for the jury service term.  Nothing in this subsection (a) is intended to prevent a judge or jury coordinator from subsequently excusing, disqualifying, postponing the service of or otherwise discharging a member of the jury pool in a manner consistent with this title.   If the presiding judge of the judicial district at any time believes that the jury list has not been prepared or renewed as required by law, the jury box has been tampered with or any other provisions of this title have been violated, the judge shall have broad authority to investigate. Should the judge conclude that any provisions of this title have been violated, the judge shall correct any irregularities necessary to ensure that this title is duly enforced.

  If for any reason a jury pool is not furnished at any jury service term as provided by this part, then the presiding judge of the judicial district shall have the right to select a jury pool as may be needed during the jury service term.   In all counties of this state, regardless of population, jurors required to try issues of fact in the chancery or other court, not supplied with regular jurors, may be summoned instanter, by order of the court, as in subsection (a).

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 22 - Juries and Jurors|Chapter 2 - Selection and Attendance of Jurors|Part 3 - Jury Selection and Attendance|§ 22-2-315. Postponement of Jury Service

  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, individuals scheduled to appear for jury service may request a postponement of the date of their initial appearance for jury service. When requested, postponements shall be granted by the jury coordinator; provided, that:  The juror has not previously been granted a postponement;   The prospective juror appears in person or contacts the jury coordinator by telephone, electronic mail, facsimile, or in writing to request a postponement; and   Prior to the grant of a postponement and with the concurrence of the jury coordinator, the prospective juror fixes a date certain on which the juror will appear for jury service within twelve (12) months after the date on which the prospective juror originally was called to serve and on which date the court will be in session.     Notwithstanding subsection (a), if a judge holding court in the county finds good cause to postpone the jury service term for a juror, the judge shall notify the juror and the jury coordinator in writing designating an alternate date to which the juror's service is postponed.   A subsequent request to postpone jury service may be approved by a judge only on the basis of an extraordinary event, such as a death in the prospective juror's family, sudden grave illness or a natural disaster or national emergency in which the prospective juror is personally involved, that could not have been anticipated at the time the initial postponement was granted. Prior to the grant of a second postponement, the prospective juror must fix a date certain on which the juror will appear for jury service within twelve (12) months of the postponement and on which date the court will be in session.   A juror who is granted a postponement pursuant to this section shall remain under summons to appear on the alternate date without the necessity of the issuance of a new summons; however, the jury coordinator may, at the coordinator's discretion, issue a new summons.   The jury coordinator shall maintain a list of members of the jury pool whose service was postponed pursuant to this section, and that information shall be made available upon request.

  The jury coordinator shall prepare or cause to be prepared a list of all persons disqualified or potentially disqualified as a prospective juror from jury service due to being a non-United States citizen, convicted of a felony, deceased, not a resident of this state, or not a resident of the county. The list must be prepared and sent to the administrator of elections according to the jury summons cycle used by the court clerk. Nothing in this section prevents the list from being sent more frequently. The list may be provided by mail, facsimile transmission, or email.   The jury coordinator shall provide the administrator of elections with the following information about the disqualified juror:  The full name of the disqualified juror;   Current and prior addresses, if any;   Telephone number, if available;   Date of birth; and   The reason the prospective juror was disqualified.     After verifying that the person is a registered voter, the administrator of elections shall follow the procedures listed in § 2-2-106 or § 2-2-141.   In addition to the list of names, if the jury coordinator has documentation showing the person's disqualification under subsection (a), the documentation may be forwarded to the administrator of elections.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 24 - Evidence and Witnesses|Chapter 1 - Witnesses and Privileged Communications|Part 2 - Privileged Communications|§ 24-1-201. Married Persons

  In either a civil or criminal proceeding, no married person has privilege to refuse to take the witness stand solely because that person's spouse is a party to the proceeding.   In a civil proceeding, confidential communications between married persons are privileged and inadmissible if either spouse objects. This communications privilege shall not apply to proceedings between spouses or to proceedings concerning abuse of one (1) of the spouses or abuse of a minor in the custody of or under the dominion and control of either spouse, including, but not limited to, proceedings arising under title 36, chapter 1, part 1; title 37, chapter 1, parts 1, 4 and 6; title 37, chapter 2, part 4; and title 71, chapter 6, part 1. This confidential communications privilege shall not apply to any insured's obligations under a contract of insurance in civil proceedings.    In a criminal proceeding a marital confidential communication shall be privileged if:  The communications originated in a confidence that they will not be disclosed;   The element of confidentiality is essential to the full and satisfactory maintenance of the relation between the parties;   The relation must be one which, in the opinion of the community, ought to be sedulously fostered; and   The injury to the relation by disclosure of the communications outweighs the benefit gained for the correct disposal of litigation.     Upon a finding that a marital communication is privileged, it shall be inadmissible if either spouse objects. Such communication privileges shall not apply to proceedings concerning abuse of one (1) of the spouses or abuse of a minor in the custody of or under the dominion and control of either spouse, including, but not limited to proceedings arising under title 37, chapter 1, parts 1 and 4; title 37, chapter 2, part 4; and title 71, chapter 6, part 1.
