Ind. Courts - Justice Boehm writes on Indiana jury pool improvements
"My View: Theodore R. Boehm - Teamwork leads to jury pool improvement" is the heading to a short article by Justice Boehm published in the "Letters" section of today's Indianapolis Star. A quote:
In 2006, Indiana courts will have the most comprehensive, accurate list of potential jurors ever compiled. In the past those called for jury duty have been drawn from voter registration and other lists that are both under-populated (because many people do not register to vote) and overpopulated (because the lists included many who had died or moved).The Indiana Supreme Court's Jury Pool Project has now made a new jury pool list available to every county in the state. By combining the two most complete and current lists (the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Department of Revenue) we were able to create a list that includes anyone who pays taxes, drives or has a state ID card.
