Jury duty is a responsibility that all qualified citizens must share. You are qualified to serve as a juror if you can answer yes to the following statements: I have not been convicted of a felony or I have been convicted but my civil rights have been restored

You must be a citizen of the United States, be 19 years of age or older, be physically and mentally capable and you must be a resident of the county for which you have been called for.

Eligibility for federal jury service is dependent both upon an individual meeting the legal qualifications for service and upon the random chance of having one's name drawn from the source lists.

This selection creates the court's "MASTER JURY WHEEL" (a term which originated in the days when names were placed in a large barrel-type wheel and turned around to mix them up; today, however, we use computers to randomly select names). Each person selected is mailed a qualification questionnaire to be completed and returned.

The court pays an attendance fee of $40.00 per day, plus mileage . We do not offer bus passes, but the travel allowance from your home to the courthouse usually covers the amount required for bus fare.
