Shortly before a new term of jury service, a Juror Package which includes a questionnaire, summons and juror letter is mailed to the citizens whose names are drawn from the master list.

The qualification questionnaire that was already sent to you explains the qualification for jurors. Qualifications are set in order to limit service to persons who are able to serve responsibly and effectively. The replies to these questionnaires are used to determine ones eligibility.

A few citizens are exempt from service and some may be excused. The Court urges you, if you are not required to serve, to consider the benefits, both to you and other citizens. The qualification questionnaire also explains the procedure for claiming an exemption or excuse.
