(1) If a jury pool is
required in a jury district for trials to which the pool relates, the
summoning officer shall, from time to time as occasion requires —
(a)
select any person who, under section 34H(5)(b) or (6), is required for the
pool; and
(b)
select at random from the jurors’ book for the jury district additional
persons so that, including any name included under paragraph (a), the number
of persons selected will, in the officer’s estimation, ensure the
attendance of sufficient persons at the jury pool.
(2) A selection under
subsection (1) may be made by ballot manually or by computer.
(3) An officer of a
court in which trials to which a jury pool relates are held shall, upon
request by a summoning officer, furnish to him such particulars as he requires
relating to trials to be held in that court for the purposes of determining
the number of persons required to be summoned to attend at the jury pool.
