The Trial Jury Selection and Management Act prescribes procedures for the selection of jurors and the formation of trial juries for both civil and criminal cases in all trial courts. Existing law requires the jury commissioner of each county to randomly select jurors for jury panels to be sent to courtrooms for voir dire. Existing law prohibits specified peace officers from being selected for voir dire in civil or criminal matters.
This bill would provide that in addition to those specified peace officers, probation officers, as defined, may not be selected for voir dire in civil or criminal matters.
