Chapter 2313: COMMISSIONERS OF JURORS
2313.40 Special venire when sheriff or coroner interested in a cause in court.


OH Rev Code § 2313.40 What's This?

When the sheriff is interested in a cause in any court of record, the party in interest opposed to that of the sheriff may apply to the court for a special venire, which, upon such application, the court shall issue to the coroner of the county, commanding him to summon a jury, having the qualifications prescribed in sections 2313.01 to 2313.46, inclusive, of the Revised Code, to try such cause. When both the sheriff and coroner are so interested, or in the case of the death, resignation, or absence from the county of both the sheriff and coroner, then the process may be directed to such discreet, disinterested person as the court names, and the service and return of such person shall be valid to all intents and purposes.
