California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Dorshkind v. Harry N. Koff Agency, Inc., 134 Cal.Rptr. 344, 64 Cal.App.3d 302 (Cal. App. 1976):
Two fairly recent decisions in other jurisdictions have made reference to the selection of the foreman of a jury. In Maynard v. Readdick (1973) 128 Ga.App. 368, 196 S.E.2d 688, the trial court had chosen the only female juror to be the foreman; no objection was made at trial. The reviewing court refused, on that basis, to definitively rule on the correctness of the procedure, observing simply that the issue could only be determined by reference to the common law as it existed in 1776.
