FAQ
Disqualifications and exemptions from jury service. A prospective juror is disqualified to serve on a jury if that prospective juror is not a citizen of the United States, 18 years of age and a resident of the county, or is unable to read, speak and understand the English language.
Medical conditions, deafness, difficult sitting for long periods, people who know the defendant or officers, people who've been victims of crimes, financial hardship, and more will be excused. Depending on the county, they might call 100 people to select just 12.
You must follow the directions in the “Juror Excusal Statement” portion of your summons in order to be excused for either category. Potential jurors who have a request for exemption, or other hardship/conflict/deferral, MUST submit that request BEFORE the registration date deadline.
If the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor, this also restores one right to serve on a jury. Under California law, a convicted felon is disqualified from serving on a jury until and unless his or her civil rights have been restored.
If the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor, this also restores one right to serve on a jury. Under California law, a convicted felon is disqualified from serving on a jury until and unless his or her civil rights have been restored.
You can only be excused from jury duty for: Medical reasons. Public necessity. Undue hardship. Dependent care.
Predictable Outcomes: Judges' decisions are generally more predictable than those of a jury, in which emotions or personal biases can sway. If, for example, you're assigned a judge with a record of showing leniency for mitigating circumstances, your attorney might recommend waiving the jury trial.
Don't lose your temper, try to bully, or refuse to listen to the opinions of other jurors. Don't mark or write on exhibits or otherwise change or injure them.
Proper dress attire is required when serving on jury duty. Please do not wear shorts, cutoffs, tank tops, jeans, sandals or halter tops. Metal detection screening is required of any individual entering the court building. Please refrain from carrying all forms of sharp instruments or weapons.
