JUROR FAQ
Answer: 

Excusal requests are reveiwed on an individual basis and are not automatically granted. You must complete your questionnaire or summons information before the court will consider a request. You must elaborate your reasons for your excuse on a separate sheet of paper. Medical excuses require a recent letter from your doctor stating what your medical condition is and why it will prevent you from serving as a juror. All correspondence submitted to the court should include your 9-digit participant number.

QUALIFICATION PROCESS: When the court grants or denys your request, the court will be unable to provide with excusal results. If the court determines your circumstance will prohibit you from serving for the duration of the four (4) year Jury Master Wheel, you will be disqualified. If the court determines your circumstance will not prohibit you from serving within the (4) year timeframe, you will be considered a qualified juror.

JURY SUMMONS:  When the court takes action on your request regarding a jury summons, you will be notified by mail, e-mail or by phone. If you do not receive a response, you are required to report as instructed on the jury summons. You may call the Jury Messaging System (1-866-847-4954) to check on the status of your excuse. If you do not receive a response, you are required to report as instructed on the jury summons.
