Ohio Laws and Rules
Whenever a jury is required in the probate court, the probate judge shall notify the commissioners of jurors, who shall cause to be drawn from the jury wheel, or to be drawn by use of the automation data processing equipment and procedures described in section 2313.07 of the Revised Code, the names of sixteen persons as jurypersons. Additional names may be drawn if required. The clerk of the court of common pleas or one of the clerk’s deputies shall make a list of those names in the order drawn and certify the list to the probate court, and the court shall issue a venire commanding the persons whose names were drawn to appear on the day and at the hour set for trial. The probate court shall deliver the venire to the sheriff, who shall serve it within five days of delivery and make prompt return of the service.
