The Constitution of the United States and the State of New Mexico guarantee the right of trial by jury.
Juries consist of six or twelve members depending on the court and type of case.
Upon order of the court jurors are selected at random and jury summons mailer forms mailed to prospective jurors. A person is not required to remain a member of a jury panel for longer than six months. Sometimes cases are settled or disposed of in some manner shortly before trial. By calling, jurors can be advised of day to day settings, and reporting dates. If illness or other emergency requires that you be delayed or absent, telephone the Clerk s office, promptly.
