        (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 —

            (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.
