U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1878. Optional use of a one-step summoning and qualification procedure
(a) At the option of each district court, jurors may be summoned
and qualified in a single procedure, if the court's jury selection
plan so authorizes, in lieu of the two separate procedures
otherwise provided for by this chapter. Courts shall ensure that a
one-step summoning and qualification procedure conducted under this
section does not violate the policies and objectives set forth in
sections 1861 and 1862 of this title.
(b) Jury selection conducted under this section shall be subject
to challenge under section 1867 of this title for substantial
failure to comply with the provisions of this title in selecting
the jury. However, no challenge under section 1867 of this title
shall lie solely on the basis that a jury was selected in
accordance with a one-step summoning and qualification procedure
authorized by this section.
