Full Text of § 190
Plain-English Summary
Section 190 does one job: it gives the chapter a name. Everything from jury commissioners and source lists to voir dire and peremptory challenges lives under the label the Legislature chose in 1988, the Trial Jury Selection and Management Act.
A short citation section like this rarely gets argued in court, but it matters for research. When a brief or an opinion refers to “the Act,” this is the section that tells you what that means and where it starts.
