A. Jurors are randomly chosen by computer from lists generated using property owner, voter registration and driver's license as basis. The North Carolina General Assembly declares the public policy of this state to be that jury service is the solemn obligation of all qualified citizens, and that excuses from the discharge of this responsibility should be granted only for reasons of compelling personal hardship or because requiring service would be contrary to the public welfare, health, or safety. These requests are rarely granted. All other requests to be rescheduled must be supported by a written statement outlining the reason for the request and must be mailed or faxed to the above address or fax number. No lunch is served.
Jurors are responsible for their own meals.
There are numerous snack bars and restaurants located within walking distance of the courts. The time, location and address is indicated on the summons and should be followed. A. Parking is available at the Civil Courts Parking Garage. To park free, please show the parking attendant your summons. If the full sign is illuminated, you should still advance to the parking attendant to determine if juror parking is still available or for additional parking information.
