Virginia Jurors Drawn by Commission Not by Judges
A Virginia survey shows Negroes are legally eligible for jury service but rarely chosen under the jury commissioner system. Federal courts use Negro jurors regularly. Since the system began about fifteen years ago, Virginia judges no longer select jurors and commissioners now handle panel selection, with no Negro summonses in practice. The commissioners swear to impartial and honest selection, though historical practice had included some Negro jurors.
