This shall also apply to the selection of tales jurors for particular causes after the regular jury panel is exhausted.
(2)Each person summoned under subsection
(1)of this section shall forthwith appear before the court and if qualified shall serve on the jury panel unless such person is excused from service or lawfully challenged. If necessary, jurors shall continue to be so drawn from time to time until the jury panel is filled.
