Who chooses the judges?

Answer 1

In the US, each county has a record of all eligible voters based upon voting records, drivers license records, or some other method. All those eligible voters are also eligible to be selected for jury service. So once every few years, your name will be called up (by a computer) to report for jury duty.

If you're called, you will be placed into a jury pool, where you can be assigned to either criminal, civil, or grand jury cases. (Hence, jury trials can happen in just about any type of court- the only ones without jury trials would be specialized courts like family court, bankruptcy court, or small claims court.)

Once you're assigned to the court, you will then be put through a process called voir dire. In this process, the lawyers for both sides will ask you questions to see if they think you are sufficiently impartial to be on the jury. If either the judge or one (or both) of the sides doesn't want you for the case, you are dismissed and go back to the jury pool for another case. If all sides agree, you're on the jury and you hear the case.

Answer 2

In a process known as Voire Dire the attorneys from both sides question the jury pool members and from among them pick the required number of jurors needed to conduct that partiocular trial. The lawyers on both sides are the ones who choose the jury. Each lawyer chooses six jurors from a pool.

Answer 3

The prosecutor and the defense attorney select the jurors, from a pool of eligible voters. During a process called voir dire, the lawyers decide if the potential jurors are acceptable to both sides. Typical questions include: are they biased, or have conflicts of interest? Would they be able to vote for the death penalty in a capital murder case?

Answer 4

In the UK, Jurors are chosen from the electoral registers (those eligible and registered to vote.) The names are selected at random by a computer. 12 Jurors are usually needed,however many more a called to the court to ensure there will be enough once qualifications and eligibility test have been done on the names chosen. Jury service is mandatory however there are some forms of excusal and these can be given form the discretion of the court.

They are chosen by random (sort of). All regestered voters are logged somewhere, about every five years you are chosen to hear a trial. The onlyway you can get out of a trial is if you know one of the Lawyers.

A sufficient number of random names are chosen from the eligible jurors lists - they are assembeled - notified of the type of case - asked if they personally know any of the people who will be testifying - undergo a background questioning by the defense and prosecution attorneys (a process known as "Voire Dire") - a certain number of exclusions are allowed to each side - from the remainder 12 (or whatever number the jury will consist of) are chosen to sit on the jury.

Added: (in the US) It depends on the state. Some states use voter registration rolls, others use the Motior Vehicle Drivers License files. Jurors are picked at random from these pools and then summoned to court for service.

Answer 5

I'm from Australia, so this might not be international standard, but names are essentially drawn from the electoral roll--this includes all those of voting age (i.e. 18 and older). This is normally carried out by a department of the justice system, such as the Attorney-General's office. When members are selected, they may be exempt on the spot (if they are members of the emergency services, invalids, elderly, pregnant, religious leaders or lawyers, etc.), or remove themselves through some valid excuse. Otherwise, if they are not challenged in court by either parties' legal teams, they become a member of the jury and are involved throughout a singular trial. In Australia, our legal system is divided into federal courts, state courts and local courts. Therefore, differing departments choose jury members from their electoral rolls--be that the federal electoral roll or state electoral roll, etc. Just about everyone has to do it!
