IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT JUROR IDENTITY THEFT SCAM
“I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.” - THOMAS JEFFERSON (1789)
The right to a jury trial is a basic right provided by our state and federal constitutions. Most adults, at some time, will be summoned for jury duty for service on a circuit court civil or criminal jury trial. The court recognizes that service on a jury involves sacrifice for most people, including those who work, who take care of others during the day, and for employers of jurors who are asked to serve.
