§ 34.06 SELECTION OF JURY.

   (A)   When a jury trial is demanded in the Municipal Court of the City of Union, the Municipal Judge, no later than two weeks before trial, shall draw from the jury box, in the presence of the defendant or his or her attorney and the City Attorney, 14 ballots containing the names of individuals who are deemed able to attend at the time and place required. The Municipal Judge shall make and sign a list of the 14 names thus drawn. If it appears to the Municipal Judge that a person whose name is drawn is deceased or resides outside the city, the ballot must be destroyed. If it appears to the Municipal Judge, or he or she has good reason to believe, that a person whose name is drawn is temporarily absent from the city or is unwell or so engaged as to be unable to attend at the time and place required without great inconvenience, the ballot must be laid aside, without the name thereon being entered on the list drawn, and returned to the jury box when the drawing is completed.

   (B)   When the aforesaid list of 14 names is completed, the city, and the defendant, by his or her representatives, may select a jury by each striking from the list three names alternately, commencing with the defendant. Either party may waive his or her right to be present. The remaining eight names shall be summoned as jurors in the cause. If more than eight names remain after the striking process, or if a party waives his or her right to be present to strike from the list, then the first eight names remaining unchallenged shall be summoned as jurors.
