Selection and summons of jurors
Official statutory text
Jurors in the municipal court shall be selected pursuant to this
section under the same terms and conditions as are provided for by
law for the district courts, or in the alternative, pursuant to
Section 18.1 of Title 38 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Upon written
request of the judge of the municipal court for a stated number of
jurors to the chief judge of the appropriate district court, it
shall be the duty of the clerk of the district court to draw from
the jury wheel a requested number of jurors in the same manner as is
provided by law for the district court until the number requested,
who from their addresses appear to reside within the corporate
limits of the municipality, is drawn, and to prepare a list of names
drawn and certify such list to the judge of the municipal court. On
completion of the draw, the clerk shall immediately return to the
jury wheel all names drawn which are not placed on the certified
list. The judge of the municipal court shall make written request
to the chief judge of the district court for a stated number of
additional jurors if, after allowance of claimed statutory
exemptions, the listed number is found to be insufficient. Summons
of the prospective jurors shall be issued as set out by ordinance,
and may be served in person by the chief of police or any member of
the police force of the municipality, or may be served by the clerk
of the municipal court by mail.
