We have reviewed your completed qualification questionnaire and
have determined that you are qualified as a juror based un U.S.
citizenship; ability to read, write, speak and understand the
English language; age and status of health.
As a qualified summoned juror, you will report for jury selection
at the time designated on your summons. When you are summoned
for grand jury selection, the selection will take one day. If
selected to serve on the grand jury, this session is expected
to last three (3) or four (4) days. A grand jury term is for eighteen
(18) months. You would be expected to serve an average of two
(2) or three (3) days every one (1) to two (2) months.
Should you request to be excused from or postpone your jury service,
you must place your request in writing no less than 10 days prior
to the summons date to the jury office. Your letter must be received
well in advance of your scheduled jury service date. Please address
all requests and supporting documentation to the following address:

Requests for excuse based upon employment will not be given consideration
if that request is made by the employer. The request must come
from the juror. Jury duty is a personal matter, and as such we
must know that the request is being made by the employee and not
being coerced by the employer.
