Potential jurors are selected randomly using lists designated by the court such as the voter registration list and the driver's license list. A juror is a person who has been selected for jury duty. A jury is a group of individuals randomly selected from the community, sworn in by the court, and asked to deliver a decision in a court proceeding.
Jurors are an important part of the legal system.
If you have been selected, read the juror summons or notice carefully. It will explain where and when you must appear. Your term of jury service might disturb your regular pattern of work. If this disruption causes a genuine hardship to you and not just inconvenience for you, it may be possible for you to defer your service to another time. The court must decide whether your jury service can be deferred.
