California CodesCode of Civil Procedure - CCPPart 1 — Of Courts of JusticeTitle 3 — Persons Specially Invested with Powers of a Judicial NatureChapter 1 — Trial Jury Selection and Management ActSection 198.5

If sessions of the superior court are held in a location other than the county seat, the names for master jury lists and qualified jury lists to serve in a session may be selected from the area in which the session is held, pursuant to a local superior court rule that divides the county in a manner that provides all qualified persons in the county an equal opportunity to be considered for jury service. Nothing in this section precludes the court, in its discretion, from ordering a countywide venire in the interest of justice.

Notes

Allows local selection of master and qualified jury lists from the area where a superior court session is held outside the county seat, if a local rule divides the county while giving all qualified county residents equal consideration. The court retains discretion to order a countywide venire when the interests of justice warrant it.
