This document, a page from a legal filing, discusses the legal precedent for dividing a judicial district for the purpose of jury selection. It centers on the Second Circuit's decision in United States v. Bahna, where a defendant's second trial was moved to a different courthouse that drew jurors from a smaller, less diverse geographic pool than the entire district. The Second Circuit upheld this practice, ruling that the fairness of a jury pool should be evaluated based on the specific division from which it is drawn, not the district as a whole, especially when the division is based on administrative feasibility.
