§ 18-34. Preparation of jury list.

(a)

It shall be the duty of the jury commissioners to select from the tax books, permanent registration lists, and poll books of the county, the names of not less than 15,000 upright and intelligent men and women of fair character and sound judgment, resident citizens of the county, who are eligible for jury service according to the qualifications of jurors as now prescribed by law; no name shall be selected except by majority vote of the board; such names when so compiled by commissioners shall be listed alphabetically, assigned an identifying number, and shall constitute the jury list for the jury box of such county and from this the venire for each term shall be pulled by lot. The board shall certify on each page of such list that the foregoing is the jury list selected by it as of the date of completion of the list. The secretary and clerk of the board shall then deposit numbered slips of paper containing all the numbers on the numbered list of names selected by the board in a jury box. Such box shall be securely locked and sealed by the secretary and clerk and so kept until ordered by the judges to break such seal and unlock such box for drawing of the venires.

(b)

For recording the jury list in the jury box, the clerk shall be entitled to a fee of $0.10 for each name upon such list, to be paid by the county on the certificate of two or more of such judges that such service has been rendered by the clerk, and such sum so allowed shall be in full payment of all services rendered by the clerk pertaining to such jury list and such jury box, and the keeping thereof, which the clerk is required to perform under this article.
