#### 23DJ Sheriff to prepare the jury list for the proceedings
(1) The Sheriff must prepare a jury list for the indictable primary proceedings.
(2) The jury list consists of:
(a) the names and addresses; and
(b) if readily available to the Sheriff—the dates of birth and sex;
of persons that the Sheriff selects from the jury roll for the applicable jury district.
> Note 1: For the preparation of jury rolls, see subsection 23EAA(4).
> Note 2: The jury list may be supplemented under subsection (5).
> Note 3: The Sheriff may remove a person’s name from the jury list under section 23DP.
(3) The persons to be included in the jury list are to be selected at random from the jury roll.
(4) The number of persons to be selected is the number the Sheriff thinks is adequate to allow a jury to be empanelled.
(5) If:
(a) a jury list has been prepared under subsection (1); and
(b) the jury list no longer contains the number of persons the Sheriff thinks is adequate to allow a jury to be empanelled;
the Sheriff may supplement the list by selecting additional persons, who have not already been summonsed under section 23DQ for the jury, at random from the jury roll for the applicable jury district.
> Note: The situation described in paragraph (b) may arise because of a larger than expected number of persons being removed from the list under section 23DP.
(6) A jury list is not a legislative instrument.
