at least one (1) time each year based on a calendar year commencing
in January. Drawing of names for the first jury pool for a calendar year
must be held during the last quarter of the calendar year preceding the
calendar year for which names are being drawn, at a time and place
prescribed by the jury administrator.
(b) The number of names required to be drawn from the jury pool
for jury service must be determined by the jury administrator after
consultation with all judges of the courts who may conduct jury trials,
taking into consideration the number of jurors required for the grand
jury.
(c) The frequency of the drawing of names to be summoned for jury
service may be increased by the jury administrator if the jury
administrator determines it necessary for purposes of fairness,
efficiency, or to ensure compliance with this chapter.
(d) Names to be summoned for jury service must be drawn
randomly under section 20 of this chapter.
(e) Except by order of the supervising judge, names drawn from the
jury pool to be summoned for jury service may not be returned to the
jury pool until all nonexempt persons in the jury pool have been called.
(f) This section shall be construed liberally, to the effect that:
(1) an indictment may not be quashed; and
(2) a trial, a judgment, an order, or a proceeding may not be
reversed or held invalid;
on the ground that the terms of this section have not been followed,
unless it appears that the noncompliance was either in bad faith or was
objected to promptly upon discovery and was probably harmful to the
substantial rights of the objecting party.
