FAQ
This Note explores the dual jury system in which each defendant in a joint trial has his or her own jury to decide guilt or innocence.
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.
Just answer the questions truthfully to the extent that they ask. No need to elaborate, just answer their questions. If you don't want to provide an answer, say ``no comment'' unless a judge instructs you otherwise. You are legally obligated to answer any question the judge instructs you to answer.
Jury instructions tell the jury what the laws are that govern a particular case. Each attorney gives the judge a set of proposed jury instructions. The judge considers each instruction and gives the one that properly states the law that applies to the case.
Filling Out the Prospective Juror Questionnaire Less is more. Answer ONLY the question that is asked—do NOT include in your answer things that were not asked for. Avoid extremes when possible.

For criminal charges, both misdemeanors and felonies, California requires a unanimous 12 person jury to render a verdict of “guilty” or “not guilty.” If even just one of the 12 jurors disagrees with the other 11 after careful consideration of the evidence, this results in a hung jury.
Prepare an outline of your claims and defenses, drawing from sources such as the summary judgment pleadings, pre-trial memorandum, trial brief, and jury instructions. List each claim or defense, and break it down into the component parts you must prove.

In this blog post, I share an account of my firsttime experience with jury duty service, which happened to take place in New York City. I have to fill out a Juror Questionnaire.But there are two questions, I'm not sure how to answer. The questionnaires are used to determine if you are qualified to serve as a juror. Upon reporting for service jurors can expect to serve for the duration of one trial. Summary juries shall consist of no less than six jurors and one alternate unless the parties stipulate to fewer jurors. As with previous editions, this manual focuses on the law, procedures and practices in the Ninth Circuit governing jury trials. Short statement of the case to be read to the jury in voir dire, including how long the trial will last. This resource is designed to help you as a prospective juror fill out any pre-trial questionnaire you might receive truthfully but neutrally. I have worked within the judicial system in the civil and criminal courts since 1993.
