Sec. 14. (a) Names must be drawn for the jury pool at least one (1) time each year based on a calendar year commencing in January. Drawing of names for the first jury pool for a calendar year must be held during the last quarter of the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which names are being drawn, at a time and place prescribed by the jury administrator.
(b) The number of names required to be drawn from the jury pool for jury service must be determined by the jury administrator after consultation with all judges of the courts who may conduct jury trials, taking into consideration the number of jurors required for the grand jury.
(c) The frequency of the drawing of names to be summoned for jury service may be increased by the jury administrator if the jury administrator determines it necessary for purposes of fairness, efficiency, or to ensure compliance with this chapter.
(d) Names to be summoned for jury service must be drawn randomly under section 20 of this chapter.
(e) Except by order of the supervising judge, names drawn from the jury pool to be summoned for jury service may not be returned to the jury pool until all nonexempt persons in the jury pool have been called.
(f) This section shall be construed liberally, to the effect that:
(1) an indictment may not be quashed; and
(2) a trial, a judgment, an order, or a proceeding may not be reversed or held invalid;
on the ground that the terms of this section have not been followed, unless it appears that the noncompliance was either in bad faith or was objected to promptly upon discovery and was probably harmful to the substantial rights of the objecting party.
