1999 SESSION
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 in each year, appoint for the next ensuing year ending
on the following first day of October not less than two nor more than nine
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.
