Thank you for taking the time to respond. Your participation plays a vital role in the jury selection process.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
The Constitution guarantees an accused the right to a jury selected from a cross-section of the community. Members of a circuit court jury are selected from a master list prepared by jury commissioners appointed by the circuit court. The master list is developed by random selection from the voter registration list and/or the Division of Motor Vehicles. If you have received a Juror Questionnaire or if you have been issued a Summons for Jury Duty, you can use our online Juror Portal to use a secure, browser-based interface from your preferred electronic device(s) to:
• Provide Questionnaire Answers Electronically
• Update Personal Information (i.e. change of address, change of name)
• View Upcoming and Past Service
• Request for Deferrals or Exclusions
• Print Proof of Jury Service
