— Also termed venire facias juratores (juur-[schwa]-tor-eez). [Cases: Jury 67. C.J.S. Juries § 319.]
venire facias ad respondendum (ad ree-spon-den-d[schwa]m). A writ requiring a sheriff to summon a person against whom an indictment for a misdemeanor has been issued. • A warrant is now more commonly used.
venire facias de novo (dee or di noh-voh). A writ for summoning a jury panel anew because of some impropriety or irregularity in the original jury’s return or verdict so that no judgment can be given on it. • The result of a new venire is a new trial. In substance, the writ is a motion for new trial, but when the party objects to the verdict because of an error in the course of the proceeding (and not on the merits), the form of motion was traditionally for a venire facias de novo. — Often shortened to venire de novo.
venire facias tot matronas (tot m[schwa]-troh-n[schwa]s). A writ requiring a sheriff to summon a jury of matrons to execute a writ de ventre inspiciendo. See DE VENTRE INSPICIENDO.
