Chief justice approves master jury list

Indiana Chief Justice Brent Dickson has signed off on the 2013 master list for jury pool assembly. The Judicial Technology & Automation and Jury committees merged data from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Department of Revenue to create the list. Any obvious duplicate information, errors or nonqualified persons were removed.

The list is used by trial courts to compile jury pools. Counties may also use their voter registration lists supplemented with property tax records, telephone directories or utility customer lists to compile jury pools. Dickson reminds counties to use the master list and not to contact the BMV directly to create data for jury pools.
