The following excerpt is from People v. Waters, 123 Misc.2d 1057, 476 N.Y.S.2d 429 (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 1984):

United States, 490 F.2d 1088, 1092), where the Commissioner of Jurors has recognized an obligation to systematically seek out 18 to 21 year old adults for jury service, he is then under an obligation to insure that he does so in a non-discriminatory, non-arbitrary, fair and equitable manner. 2
