1Opinion of the CourtJustice Stewart
This case, a companion to Carter v. Jury Commission of Greene County, ante, p. 320, involves a challenge to the constitutionality of the system used in many counties of Georgia to select juries and school boards. The basic statutory scheme at issue is this. The county board of education consists of five freeholders. It is selected by the grand jury, 2 which in turn is drawn from a jury list selected by the six-member county jury commission. 3 The commissioners are appointed by the judge of the state superior court for the circuit in which the county is located. 4
