Corpus Juris Secundum request
<p>This is an unorthodox request for this medium, and may not even fit the kinds of questions allowed here, but... if anyone has access to Volume 50 of the Corpus Juris Secundum, I need the full text for § 275. It's in regards to some research I'm doing on voir dire, and I keep seeing this mentioned, and although CJS is available on Westlaw, it's not divided into volumes--apples and oranges.</p>

<p>Or, if someone can tell me how to translate 50 C.J.S. Juries § 275 into the CJS that's available on Westlaw, that would be great also. I've done a search on Westlaw in their version of the CJS for "voir dire" and found a number of sections that may equate to volume 50 § 275, but I need a bullseye.</p>

<p>If anyone can help, great! If not, I'll keep searching. Thanks!</p>

<p>Once you're in CJS, scroll down to "Juries." From there, it's just a matter of expanding the subgroups to see what sections they include.</p>

<p>In your case, its:</p>

<blockquote>

  <blockquote>
    <p>Juries </p>
    
    <blockquote>

          <p><strong>Cognizable groups for jury selection purposes generally do not include age groups, such as young adults.</strong></p>
          
          <p>Cognizable groups for jury selection purposes generally do not include age groups, such as young adults, young people, or the young, or the elderly.</p>
          
          <p>It has also been held that young persons can constitute a cognizable group, but that their claimed underrepresentation does not invoke a high standard of judicial review. Moreover, there is authority that whether an age group is a cognizable group, for purposes of a challenge to the array of grand and traverse juries, depends on the time and location of the trial.</p>

<p>After the input here, my own research, and opening a ticket with Westlaw and having them do some research for me, I have concluded that the language I am looking for exists only in Volume 50 of the C.J.S. from 1947 which is only available in hard copy, and, there is no cross-reference from older editions of the C.J.S. to the latest edition on Westlaw, because the organization of topics and text have evolved over time.</p>
