The preparatory list must be drawn up in two originals, one of which is deposited at the town hall, and for Paris at the annexed town hall, and the other sent before 15 July to the secretariat-registry of the court sitting the assize court.
The mayor must notify the persons who have been drawn by lot. He asks them to state their profession. He informs them that they have the option of applying by simple letter before 1 September to the chairman of the commission provided for in Article 262 the benefit of the provisions of Article 258.
The mayor is required to inform the director of the registry of the court of appeal or of the judicial court sitting the assize court, of the legal incapacities resulting from the articles 255,256 and 257, which, to his knowledge, would affect the persons included on the preparatory list. He may also submit observations on the case of persons who, for serious reasons, do not appear to be able to perform jury duties.
