How are potential jurors identified for service in a jury pool?
What will be an ideal response?
Jurors are citizens required by law to perform jury duty. The court wants jurors who are fair, competent, and able to serve. Major challenges for the court include selecting a fair and competent jury and deciding whether excuses given by citizens who do not want to serve on the jury are legitimate. The Constitution requires that defendants be tried by a jury of their peers. The current practice in many courts is to select jurors from more representative sources, such as licensed drivers, people with state identification cards, and even people listed in the telephone book.
