(1) Existing law includes maxims of jurisprudence in civil law. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to some of these provisions. (2) Existing law requires that, if a jury commissioner requires a person to complete a questionnaire, the questionnaire must ask only questions related to juror identification, qualification, and ability to serve as a prospective juror. Existing law authorizes a court or trial judge to require a prospective juror to complete such additional questionnaires as may be deemed relevant and necessary for assisting in the voir dire process or to ascertain whether a fair cross section of the population is represented as required by law, or as proposed by counsel in a particular care to assist the voir dire process. This bill would require, after January 1, 2026, the Judicial Council to adopt a standard of judicial administration to ensure that juror identification and any juror questionnaire is inclusive, as specified.
