FAQ

Prospective jurors who lie during voir dire—the process of jury selection—can find themselves in serious legal trouble. We do not recommend doing this.

If they tell the truth that they do, then they will be excused from the jury. If they were to lie, that is a crime called perjury. If they are caught after the trial starts, then the judge would remove them and seat an alternate juror, or declare a mistrial. The juror could face prison time.

Failure to complete and return a jury questionnaire, providing false information on the questionnaire, or using vulgar or profane language in response to a jury questionnaire subjects a citizen to show cause proceeding for contempt of court.

For jury instructions to be effective, they must be clear and simple. Sentences should be short; instruc- • tions should contain no more than a few sentences, cover only one topic, and be directly related to the circumstances of the case (they should not be abstract statements of the law).

I am requesting a jury duty excusal because of my personal obligation to provide necessary and actual care to my two children. My elder child, Amy, is 3 years old and my younger child, Andrew, is 1 year old. They require constant care and attention and I do not have anyone with whom I can leave them full time.

Reasons you may be excused from jury service include: You have no means of transportation. You would have to travel an excessive distance to the courthouse. You have a physical or mental impairment. You provide care for a dependent and cannot afford to have someone cover for you.

If you have been convicted of a felony when the conviction has not been set aside or a pardon issued. If you are a judge, clerk of a district court, a sheriff, or a jailer. If your spouse has been summoned for the same jury panel. If you or your spouse have a pending jury trial in any court.

A verdict agreed to by five-sixths of the jurors shall be the verdict of the jury. If more than one question must be answered to arrive at a verdict on the same claim, the same five-sixths of the jurors must agree on all the questions.

When it is time to count votes, it is the presiding juror's duty to see that this is done properly. In a civil case, the judge will tell you how many jurors must agree in order to reach a verdict. In a criminal case, the unanimous agreement of all 12 jurors is required.

Use Notes for Courts. In introducing the questionnaire, the court should instruct prospective jurors how to proceed if they have difficulty reading or filling out the form.You may request to be excused from federal service. The form is used to obtain information about you so that we can objectively determine whether you are qualified to serve as a juror in the court. What happens if someone doesn't show up for jury duty in California? Is there any penalty or will they not be able to serve as a juror again? The summons itself is valid, because even though it misspells your name, if a reasonable individual knows that the summons is meant for you, then it is valid. It's a simple form on the back. I was a prosecutor for 2 years and I never prosecuted a juror for mistakenly putting a minor detail on a form. It's a simple form on the back.
