Does a judge have the power to appoint an elisor?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Teitelbaum, 163 Cal.App.2d 184, 329 P.2d 157 (Cal. App. 1958):

Appellant places great reliance upon the case of Bruner v. Superior Court, 92 Cal. 239, 28 P. 341. It has no application here. In that case the person who summoned the jury to act on a special venire from which the grand jurors were to be selected, had no power to act, the order appointing him elisor being void. Here there is no question of the power of the judge to act, but to the contrary, they were the only persons who could act.
