Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 8.01-343 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 8.01-343. Appointment of jury commissioners.
The judge of each circuit court in which juries are impaneled shall, prior to
the first day of October July in each year, appoint for the next ensuing year
ending on the following first day of October July not less than two nor more
than fifteen persons as jury commissioners, who shall be competent to serve as
jurors under the provisions of this chapter, and shall be citizens of
intelligence, morality, and integrity. Any one judge of the judicial circuit
may make such appointment under this section. No practicing attorney-at-law,
however, shall be appointed as a jury commissioner. Such appointment shall be
certified by the judge to the clerk of the court for which the appointment is
made, who shall enter the same on the common-law order book of such court. No
jury commissioner shall be eligible to reappointment for at least three years
after the expiration of the year for which he was appointed. For the purpose of
this section, the two divisions of the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond
shall be deemed to be separate courts.
