23DA  Simplified outline
  The following is a simplified outline of this Subdivision:

         • There are rules about the number of jurors on a jury.
         • Before convening jury panels for trials in a State or Territory, the Sheriff needs to determine one or more jury districts for the State or Territory. A jury roll for each jury district can then be obtained.
         • Not everyone on a jury roll is qualified to serve as a juror.
         • For each trial, the Sheriff convenes a jury panel by:

                (a) selecting the jury district and preparing a jury list from the corresponding jury roll; and
                (b) randomly selecting some of the persons on the jury list and summonsing them to attend court for jury service.

         • The jury is then selected from those persons on the jury panel.
         • A person on the jury panel will not become a juror if they are excused from jury service, or if their inclusion on the jury is successfully challenged. A potential juror may also be asked to temporarily stand aside during the selection of the jury.
