Order Authorizing Access to Electronic Jury Management 
System


ORDER
The purpose of this order is to effectuate the implementation of the 
electronic jury management system developed by Courthouse Technologies, LTD 
(CHT) and approved by the Legislature in 38 O.S. Supp. 2015 §18.2.
Title 11 O.S. 2011 §27-120 
requires that jurors in the municipal courts shall be selected under the same 
terms and conditions as are provided for by law in the district courts, or in 
the alternative, pursuant to 38 O.S. 
2011 §18.1. Section 27-120 also provides that the clerk of the district 
court draws jurors in the same manner as is provided by law for the district 
court. Additionally, 11 O.S. 2011 
§28-116 also allows municipal criminal courts of record to request a jury be 
drawn in the same manner as the district courts and places the duty on the clerk 
of the district court to draw a jury for a municipal court in the same manner as 
the district court.
Title 38 O.S. Supp. 2015 §18.2 creates an electronic jury management system 
developed by Courthouse Technologies, Ltd. (CHT) in the district courts in the 
State of Oklahoma to select and summon grand and petit jurors and for the 
general administration of the jury process, and for use by the Administrative 
Office of the Courts for multi-county grand juries. Section 18.2 does not 
expressly include or exclude municipal courts from utilizing the same process as 
the district courts. However, because 11 O.S. 2011 §27-120 and 11 O.S. 2011 §28-116 expressly 
require the district courts to draw jury pools for municipal court in the same 
manner as the district courts, we hereby authorize and approve the use of the 
electronic jury management system for municipal courts as well.
It is further Ordered that when a judge of a municipal court makes a written 
request to the chief judge of the appropriate district court for a stated number 
of jurors pursuant to 11 O.S. 2011 
§27-120 or when the presiding judge of a municipal criminal court of record 
makes a written request to the presiding judge of the appropriate district court 
for a stated number of jurors pursuant to 11 O.S. 2011 §28-116, the district 
court may utilize the CHT jury management system to select the names of jurors 
and provide the list of potential jurors to the municipal court in electronic 
format, and shall not be required to provide written jury lists or prepare juror 
summons for the municipal court.
DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT this 11th day of June, 2015.
