Jury service in Santa Clara County is governed by the California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP), specifically sections 197 through 230. These statutes mandate that all qualified citizens have an obligation to serve when summoned. The "Master Jury Wheel" system is utilized, where names are randomly selected from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) records and the Registrar of Voters. This dual-source selection ensures a broad cross-section of the community, capturing both property owners and those who may not drive but are registered to vote.
