From what sources do states draw to summon potential jurors?
States use a variety of sources to compile their jury lists. Driver’s licenses, voter registration, telephone directories, tax rolls, utility customers, and motor-vehicle registrations are some examples of authorized sources. Sources for jury lists are usually not mandatory; that a source is permitted does not mean that it is the source actually used. See Table 39: “Trial Juries: Qualifications and Source Lists for Juror Service,” in Rottman et al., State Court Organization, 2004.
