VPRS 17078 Draft Jury Roll

The draft jury roll appears to be the printed and bound lists provided by the electoral office of citizens eligible for jury duty. The names of citizens were randomly chosen from the electoral register. They contain the name, addresses and occupations of potential jurors. They were complied for use in the Deputy Sherriff's office, who was responsible for the provision of individuals to perform jury duty.They are called draft rolls as this is the title on the spine of the volumes. In this case this means preliminary. The draft rolls are the potential jurors. The Jury list is a list of potential jurors that arrive in Court and are awaiting empanelment as a member of a jury. The list is prepared for the use of Judge and Counsel.Juries have been present at Trials in Victoria since the earliest colonial days. The Juries List in this format was probably formalised under the various Juries Acts in the 20th century. Lists are still compiled for Court, but are no longer printed and bound in this manner.From 1993, the administration of juries, previously the Sheriff's responsibility, became a separate branch of operations managed by the Deputy Sheriff's Juries.In Victoria, the Juries Act 2000 (Vic) provides for the appointment of a Juries Commissioner and for Deputy Juries Commissioners to assist the Commissioner. The Office of the Juries Commissioner is a stand-alone office, reporting administratively to the Supreme Court.

陪审团候选名单初稿（draft jury roll）系选举办公室出具的、印制装订成册的符合陪审义务任职资格的公民名单。公民姓名从选民登记名册中随机抽取，名单涵盖候选陪审员的姓名、住址及职业信息。此类名单由副司法行政官（Deputy Sherriff）办公室编制，用于协助其遴选出庭陪审人员。因其卷宗书脊标注为"draft rolls"，故得名初稿名册，此处"draft"意为"初步的"，初稿名册所载人员即为候选陪审员。陪审团到庭名单（jury list）则是已抵达法院、等候被遴选为正式陪审团成员的候选陪审员名单，专为法官与控辩律师准备使用。自维多利亚州殖民时代初期起，陪审团便已参与该州各类庭审活动。此种格式的陪审团到庭名单，大概率于20世纪通过多部《陪审团法》（Juries Act）得以正式规范化。尽管当前仍会为法院编制此类名单，但已不再以印制装订成册的形式呈现。1993年起，原本由司法行政官（Sheriff）负责的陪审团事务管理职能，转由副司法行政官下辖的陪审团事务部门独立承接。在维多利亚州，《2000年陪审团法》（Juries Act 2000 (Vic)）规定设立陪审团事务专员（Juries Commissioner），并可任命副陪审团事务专员（Deputy Juries Commissioners）协助专员履职。陪审团事务专员办公室为独立内设机构，行政上向最高法院（Supreme Court）汇报工作。
