The organizing of a grand jury consists in calling the jurors in a body before the court, when they are then examined by the court touching their qualifications to act in that capacity. If upon such examination any of them appear to be disqualified to act, then such as are disqualified are excused and dismissed from the panel by the court. The panel shall then be filled as prescribed by statute.

In Illinois, if for any reason the panel of grand jurors shall not be full at the opening of court, the judge shall direct the sheriff to summon from the body of the county a sufficient number of persons having the qualifications of jurors, as provided by law, to fill the panel.
