The list may be supplemented from other sources, such as voter registration lists and property tax rolls. If your name is selected, a summons, along with a juror qualification form which must be returned within ten days after you receive it, is mailed to you. The form to be filled out asks for information necessary to determine if you are qualified to serve as a juror, your race, and your declaration that the responses you are giving are true to the best of your knowledge. The answers to these questions are reviewed by the Clerk of Circuit Court. Yes, but only for extremely limited reasons.
Jury service is a civic duty and is extremely important to our system of justice.
You may only be excused if a judge determines that you cannot fulfill the responsibilities of a juror. In making that determination, the judge does not consider any structural limitations or barriers of a building or courtroom. Jury duty may be deferred to a later date, if you request it and a judge determines that jury service for you at the time you were summoned would create undue hardship, extreme inconvenience, or serious obstruction or delay of justice. The summons or juror qualification form may have a space where you can explain why you feel you should be excused. If it doesn't, then call the clerk of circuit court's office and explain your situation.
