Duren v. Missouri

Holding used

A prima facie fair-cross-section claim requires a distinctive group, unfair and unreasonable venire representation, and systematic exclusion in the selection process.

Material limitation

The right concerns jury pools and does not promise a petit jury that mirrors the community; the actual plan and data are essential.
