Thank you for using the online process to respond to your jury summons. State law obligates all qualified residents to serve as a grand juror.

Because of COVID-19, we have created this form to be completed ahead of time to help prevent forms from passing hand to hand on selection day. We are also taking cleaning, sanitation, and social distancing precautions as recommended by the CDC and the Office of Court Administration.

Below, please read the letter from the Judges about what steps they are taking to ensure your safety during COVID-19 and then click NEXT to begin the Questionnaire. 

Below you will find a series of questions. This form is secure and confidential. Please fill out the information below before the deadline listed on your summons. Please be sure to provide an e-mail address that is valid and that you check regularly. If you are excused from service based on your responses below, or if the jury panel is canceled, you will be notified by e-mail. 

If you fail to answer a jury summons or knowingly provide false information in a request for an exemption or excuse, you may be fined between $100 and $1,000.

If you are picked for jury service but fail to attend court without a reasonable excuse or file a false exemption claim you may be fined between $100 and $1,000.

State law does not allow a person to be excused for economic or business reasons. However, if you have hardships or concerns, please list them below and they may be addressed when you appear for Court.

The law does provide certain other exemptions that you can claim below as well as a list of factors that may disqualify you for jury service.

If you claim an exemption or disqualification, you are only formally excused when you receive an e-mail from the Court notifying you that you are excused from service. If you do not received a formal e-mail notifying you that you are excused, you may be asked to appear to explain your request for exemption or disqualification. 

Potential jurors who meet the classification as a member of vulnerable populations may request to postpone or be excused from jury service at this time. If you wish to be excused or request that your jury service be postponed, check the box below.

Members of “vulnerable populations” include:

1.       Individuals who are over age 65

2.       Individuals with serious underlying health conditions, such as high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, diabetes, obesity, asthma, and those whose immune systems are compromised, such as by chemotherapy for cancer or other conditions requiring such therapy.
