The jury pool is the group from which potential juror's names are taken and sent summons. Before and during voir dire, the potential jurors are often referred to as the jury pool again.

You cannot volunteer for jury duty - your name is picked at random.
The court typically obtains your name for jury duty from voter registration records or state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) databases. These sources provide a list of eligible citizens who can be summoned for jury service. In some jurisdictions, additional databases may also be used to ensure a diverse and representative jury pool.
Another name for a trial jury is "a panel of one's peers". To be fair, the court tries to have people on the jury that are educated and willing to participate in a fair trial.

The group of people who give a verdict in a court of law is called a jury. Typically consisting of ordinary citizens, the jury listens to the evidence presented during a trial and deliberates to reach a decision regarding the guilt or innocence of the defendant. In some cases, a judge may also render a verdict without a jury.

The jury duty list is generally taken from the list of persons who have drivers licenses throughout the state. It had been the practice many years ago that only persons owning land would be selected but this was abolished as being unfair to persons not owning property, because they would have persons perhaps not in their social class judging them. Later, the jury lists were taken from voter registration records, but this was also abolished in virtually all jurisdictions, because people could avoid jury duty by simply not voting. This was a double dereliction of civic responsibility. If you have never been called for duty but want to serve, you can contact the local or state jury commission to volunteer to be put into the general pool of people to be called at random.
