At least thirty days before the opening of the assizes, the first president of the court of appeal, or his delegate, or the president of the judicial tribunal, seat of the assize court, or his delegate, draws lots, in open court, from the annual list, the names of thirty-five jurors who will form the session list. He shall also draw the names of ten alternate jurors from the special list.
If, among the names drawn, there are those of one or more persons who are deceased or who turn out not to meet the conditions of legal fitness resulting from articles 255,256 and 257 or have served as a juror in the department for less than five years, these names are immediately replaced on the session list and the list of alternate jurors by the names of one or more other jurors designated by lot; they are removed from the annual list or the special list by the first president of the court of appeal or by the president of the judicial tribunal, seat of the assize court, or their delegate.
Also replaced on the session list and on the list of alternate jurors, where they are drawn by lot, are the names of persons who, during the year, have complied with the requisitions prescribed by l’article 267.
