Answer to Question 1

The jury list can be compiled from a number of sources. One of the most common methods is to draw from voter registration lists. The federal courts, the state of Washington, and several other states rely on this method. Another source, used in California, is the driver's license registration list. Some states even use telephone directory lists. Still other states rely on jury commissioners, individuals appointed by a judge who are responsible for compiling jury lists.
To be on the jury list, potential jurors usually must meet certain minimum requirements.
For example, they must be of a certain age, usually over 18 . They must also be U.S. citizens and free of felony convictions. The requirements to serve on a jury vary considerably from one state to the next.
