Register at the JPORTAL website and complete your juror questionnaire. You can sign up for text or email notifications or request an excusal or deferral.You will be required to make only one appearance in court for jury selections held that day, or serve for one trial (jury selection may take more than one day). The person against whom the suit is brought is called the "defendant". After these introductions, the judge and attorneys will question each of the potential jurors seated in the jury box. If you're made to fill out a comprehensive questionnaire, be truthful, be candid. A party may demand a jury trial as provided in Fed. If you receive a summons and believe service as a juror will entail undue hardship you may complete an Affidavit for Excusal. To request an accommodation, we ask that you complete a Request for Accommodations Form (SCAO form MC70). Fill out the attached pro forma below: Page 34.
