§ A406-23. Juries.

A. 

Demand. Trial by jury shall be deemed to be waived unless demanded in the note of issue by the party serving the same, or by any other party, in writing, within three days thereafter. The party demanding a trial by jury shall file a copy of the demand with the Clerk within one day after the service thereof upon the opposing party, and must, at the time of filing his demand, pay the fee prescribed by § A406-30 of this act.

B. 

Jury lists. The officer charged by law in Ulster County with selecting the persons qualified to serve as jurors in the County and Supreme Courts shall furnish the Clerk of the City Court with the names of such qualified persons who are residents of the city. Jurors shall be drawn from among such persons.

C. 

Ballots and jury boxes. The Clerk must prepare suitable ballots by writing the name of each person appearing on the list, with his place of residence and other information, on a separate piece of paper. The ballots must be uniform in appearance, and Clerk must deposit them in a box kept for that purpose, to be known as the undrawn jury box. The ballots containing the names of persons who have been summoned and appeared for service must be placed in a box to be known as the drawn jury box. When all ballots have been drawn from the undrawn jury box, the whole number must be returned to the undrawn jury box.

D. 

Summoning of jurors, jury terms. When a jury trial is demanded, the Clerk must draw, from the undrawn jury box, such number of names as shall be prescribed by the Court, and shall deliver a list thereof to the Marshal, to summon the persons named therein to attend the Court at a specified time to serve as jurors. The Court may, by rule, provide that a jury term be established during certain periods of the year for the trial of jury cases. A jury panel shall be drawn to try jury cases generally for each of such terms and shall consist of such number of jurors as shall be prescribed by the Court. At least two days' notice of attendance shall be given to persons summoned to serve as jurors. Provisions of law relating to the summoning of jurors and their attendance in the County Court shall, as nearly as may be, apply to the summoning and attendance of jurors in the City Court.

E. 

Numbers of jurors. A jury shall be composed of six persons.

F. 

Drawing of jurors. The jury shall be selected from among the persons summoned and attending pursuant to § A406-23D. It shall be drawn in the same manner as in the County Court, except that either party may peremptorily challenge not more than three persons.
