OBJECTIONS TO IRREGULARITIES IN JURY LISTS OR FOR LEGAL DISABILITY; EFFECT
THEREOF (§ 8.01-352)

A. Prior to the jury being sworn, the following objections may be made without
leave of court: (i) an objection specifically pointing out the irregularity in
any list or lists of jurors made by the clerk from names drawn from the jury
box, or in the drawing, summoning, returning or impaneling of jurors or in
copying or signing or failing to sign the list, and (ii) an objection to any
juror on account of any legal disability; after the jury is sworn such objection
shall be made only with leave of court.

B. Unless objection to such irregularity or disability is made pursuant to
subsection A herein and unless it appears that the irregularity was intentional
or that the irregularity or disability be such as to probably cause injustice in
a criminal case to the Commonwealth or to the accused and in a civil case to the
party making the objection, then such irregularity or disability shall not be
cause for summoning a new panel or juror or for setting aside a verdict or
granting a new trial.
