JUROR FAQ
Answer: 

All requests must be submitted to the court in writing OR by using the eJuror program.  All documentation sent to the court must include your 9-digit participant number.  After you submit your request, please be patient and allow the court a few days to process your information.  The submission of a medical letter or excuse does not guarantee the court will grant the request. Each request is processed on an individual basis.

If you received a QUALIFICATION QUESTIONNAIRE POSTCARD, submit your request using the eJuror program.  Documentation in support of your request may be sent to the Jury Administrator via email to juryinfo@lawd.uscourts.gov or via fax at 318-676-3962.
