 (a) In determining the number of jurors to be summoned for jury duty at a court location, the following factors, as well as any other factors which may be relevant, shall be considered: The number of judges assigned to jury trials at the court location; the types of cases that will come to trial during the period of time for which the panel will be summoned; the experience of the court location in regard to the number of jurors who actually serve in relation to the number of jurors who are summoned for service; and the experience of the court location in regard to the number of jurors required in the juror pool in order to insure that judicial affairs will be reasonably conducted without delay.(b) Clerks of court shall keep and furnish any records and data which the Jury Administrator requires in order to determine whether jurors are being effectively utilized.(c) For the purpose of analyzing whether the number of prospective jurors required by section 51-220 is suitable, at such times as the Jury Administrator deems necessary, each chief clerk of the Superior Court shall notify the Jury Administrator in writing of (1) the estimated number of prospective jurors who will be needed to serve at such particular court location or locations during the year commencing the first of the next succeeding September, and (2) the towns from which the prospective jurors shall be drawn.(P.A. 76-52, S. 2, 8; P.A. 77-452, S. 66, 72; P.A. 79-242, S. 1; P.A. 86-278, S. 4, 12.)History: P.A. 77-452 removed clerks of common pleas court from requirements of Subsec.
