The "list of persons qualified to serve" is, however, usually larger.

The "selection by lot" is made thus: slips of paper, each containing one of the names, are folded and deposited in a box.

The box is shaken, and the prescribed number of slips is drawn.

The persons whose names thus appear are summoned as jurors.
When an action is called for trial by jury, the clerk draws from the jury box the ballots containing the names of the jurors, "until the jury is completed or the ballots exhausted." If necessary, the sheriff under direction of the court summons bystanders or others in the county to complete the jury.

Such persons are called _talesmen_.
To secure an impartial jury, each party may object to or "challenge," a number of the jurors.
