The clerk shall make the random selection of names as follows: One out of every ten names from such lists, as deleted, shall be selected by first selecting a starting number, by chance, between one and ten, and every tenth name thereafter shall be selected.

(c) Master jury wheel. The clerk shall maintain a master jury wheel for the territory. The names of all persons randomly selected from the voter registration lists, as deleted, shall be placed in the master jury wheel. Initially, the master wheel shall be filled on or before January 1, 1969, with approximately seventeen hundred (1700) names randomly selected from the 1968 Guam general election voter registration lists, as deleted, which the Legislature finds consists of approximately seventeen thousand (17,000) names. The Chief Judge may order additional names to be placed in the master jury wheel from time to time, as required. The master jury wheel shall be emptied and refilled between July 1, and September 1 of every fourth year thereafter.

(d) Excuses on individual request. The Legislature hereby finds that jury service by members of the following occupational classes or groups of persons would entail undue hardship or extreme inconvenience to the members thereof, and that the excuse of such members will not be inconsistent with this Title, and shall be granted upon individual request:

(1) Persons over seventy (70) years of age;

(2) Actively engaged members of the clergy;

(3) Actively practicing attorneys, physicians, dentists, and registered nurses;

(4) Persons who have served as a grand or petit juror in a State, territorial or Federal court within the past two

(2) years;

(e) Exemption from jury service. The Legislature hereby finds that exemption of the following groups of persons or occupational classes is in the public interest and would not be inconsistent with this Title, and accordingly members of such groups are exempt from jury service:

(1) Members in active service of the Armed Forces of the United States;

(2) Members of the Fire or Police Divisions of the Department of Public Safety, or employees of government contractors engaged in providing internal security or fire protection by such contractors;

(3) Public Officers in the executive, legislative, or judicial branches of the government of the United States or of the government of Guam, who are actively engaged in

the performance of official duties. [Added by P.L. 3-42, effective October 1, 1955; repealed and added by P.L. 9-256, effective January 8, 1969.]

§ 680.4. Drawing of names from the master jury wheel; completion of juror qualification form. (a) From time to time as directed by the court, the clerk or a judge shall publicly draw at random from the master jury wheel the names of as many persons as may be required for jury service. The clerk shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names drawn, which list shall not be disclosed to any person except pursuant to $$ 680.3, 680.7, and 680.8 of this Title. The clerk shall have delivered to every person whose name is drawn from the master wheel a juror qualification form accompanied by instructions to fill out and return the form, duly signed and sworn, to the clerk by mail or in person within ten (10) days. If the person is unable to fill out the form, another shall do it for him, and shall indicate that he has done so and the reason therefor. In any case in which it appears that there is an omission, ambiguity, or error in a form, the clerk shall return the form with instructions to the person to make such additions or corrections as may be necessary and to return the form to the clerk within ten (10) days. Any person who fails to return a completed juror qualification form as instructed may be summoned by the clerk forthwith to appear before the clerk to fill out a juror qualification form. A person summoned to appear because of failure to return a juror qualification form as instructed who personally appears and executes a juror qualification form before the clerk may, at the discretion of the court, except where his prior failure to execute and mail or deliver such form was wilful, be entitled to receive for such appearance the same fees and travel allowances paid to jurors under § 680.11 of this Title. At the time of his appearance for jury service, any person may be required to fill out another juror qualification form in the presence of the clerk of the court, at which time, in such cases as it appears warranted, the person may be questioned, but only with regard to his responses to questions contained on the form. Any information thus acquired by the clerk may be noted on the juror qualification form and transmitted to the Chief Judge.

(b) Any person summoned pursuant to subsection (a) of this section who fails to appear as directed shall be ordered by the court forthwith to appear and show cause for his failure to comply with the summons. Any person who fails to appear pursuant to such order or who fails to show good cause for non

compliance with the summons may be fined not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or imprisoned not more than three (3) days, or both. Any person who wilfully misrepresents a material fact on a juror qualification form for the purpose of avoiding or securing service as a juror, may be fined not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or imprisoned not more than three (3) days, or both. [Added by P.L. 3-42, effective October 1, 1955; repealed and added by P.L. 9-256, effective January 8, 1969.]

§ 680.5. Qualifications for jury service. (a) The Chief Judge, on his initiative or upon recommendation of the clerk, shall determine solely on the basis of information provided on the juror qualification form and other competent evidence whether a person is unqualified for, or exempt, or to be excused from jury service. The clerk shall enter such determination in the space provided on the juror qualification form and the alphabetical list of names drawn from the master jury wheel. If a person did not appear in response to a summon, such fact shall be noted on said list.

(b) In making such determination the Chief Judge shall deem any person qualified to serve on grand and petit juries in the district court unless he:

(1) is not a citizen of the United States, twenty-one (21) years old, who has resided for a period of one (1) year within Guam.

(2) is unable to read, write, and understand the English language with a degree of proficiency sufficient to fill out satisfactorily the juror qualification form;

(3) is unable to speak the English language;

(4) is incapable, by reason of mental or physical infirmity, to render satisfactory jury service; or

(5) has a charge pending against him for the commission of, or has been convicted in a state, territorial, or Federal court of record of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one (1) year and his civil rights have not been restored by pardon or amnesty. [Added by P.L. 3-42, effective October 1, 1955; amended by P.L. 3-48, effective February 23, 1956; repealed and added by P.L. 9-256, effective January 8, 1969.]

§ 680.6. Selection and summoning of jury panels. (a) The clerk shall maintain a qualified jury wheel and shall place in such wheel names of all persons drawn from the master jury

wheel who are determined to be qualified as jurors and not exempt or excused pursuant to § 680.3 of this Title. From time to time, the clerk shall publicly draw at random from the qualified jury wheel such number of names of persons as may be required for assignment to grand and petit jury panels. The clerk shall prepare a separate list of names of persons assigned to each grand and petit jury panel.

(b) When the court orders a grand or petit jury to be drawn, the clerk or jury commission shall issue summonses for the required number of jurors and deliver them to the marshal for service.

Each person drawn for jury service may be served personally or by registered or certified mail addressed to such person at his usual residence or business address.

Such service shall be made by the marshal who shall attach to his return the addressee's receipt for registered or certified summons where service is made by mail.

(c) Except as provided in §§ 680.3 and 680.6 of this Title, no person or class of persons shall be disqualified, excluded, excused, or exempt from service as jurors; provided, that any person summoned for jury service may be

(1) excused by the court, upon a showing of undue hardship or extreme inconvenience, for such period as the court deems necessary, at the conclusion of which such person shall be summoned again for jury service under subsections (b) and (c) of this section, or

(2) excluded by the court on the ground that such person may be unable to render impartial jury service or that his service as a juror would be likely to disrupt the proceedings, or

(3) excluded upon peremptory challenge as provided by law,

or

(4) excluded pursuant to the procedure specified by law upon a challenge by any party for good cause shown, or (5) excluded upon determination by the court that his service as a juror would be likely to threaten the secrecy of the proceedings, or otherwise adversely affect the integrity of jury deliberations. No person shall be excluded under clause (5) of this subsection unless the judge, in open court, determines that such is warranted and that exclusion of the person will not be inconsistent with §§ 680.1 and 680.2 of this Title. The number of persons excluded under clause (5) of this subsection shall not exceed one percentum (1%) of the number of

persons who return executed jury qualification forms during the period, specified in § 680.3, between two consecutive fillings of the master jury wheel. The names of persons excluded under clause (5) of this subsection, together with detailed explanations for the exclusions, shall be forwarded immediately to the Judicial Council of Guam which shall have the power to make any appropriate order, prospective or retroactive, to redress any misapplication of clause (5) of this subsection, but otherwise exclusions effectuated under such clause shall not be subject to challenge under the provisions of this Title. Any person excluded from a particular jury under clause (2), (3), or (4) of this subsection, shall be eligible to sit on another jury if the basis for his initial exclusion would not be relevant to his ability to serve on such other jury.

(d) Whenever a person is disqualified, excused, exempt, or excluded from jury service, the clerk shall note in the space provided on his juror qualification form or on the juror's card drawn from the qualified jury wheel the specific reason therefor.

(e) In any two-year period, no person shall be required to (1) serve or attend court for prospective service as a petit juror for a total of more than thirty (30) days, except when necessary to complete service in a particular case, or (2) serve on more than one grand jury, or (3) serve as both a grand and petit juror.

(f) When there is an unanticipated shortage of available petit jurors drawn from the qualified jury wheel, the court may require the marshal to summon a sufficient number of petit jurors selected at random from the voter registration lists in a manner ordered by the court consistent with §§ 680.1 and 680.2 of this Title.

(g) Any person summoned for jury service who fails to appear as directed shall be ordered by the court to appear forthwith and show cause for his failure to comply with the summons. Any person who fails to show good cause for noncompliance with a summons may be fined not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or imprisoned not more than three (3) days, or both. [Added by P.L. 3-42, effective October 1, 1955; repealed and added by P.L. 9-256, effective January 8, 1969.]
