FAQ
The summons to appear for jury service is an official court summons. If you do not respond, you could be held in contempt of court. What If I No Longer Reside In Wayne County?
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.
Generally, Indiana statutes don't provide for any exemptions from jury service. There are two exceptions. The first permits individuals who are 75 years of age or over to claim an exemption under IC 33-28-5-18(d).
All Indiana residents with few exceptions are required to appear when summoned to do so by the district court. Failure to comply with these court orders could come with serious penalties, including community service, fines of up to $1,000, and as many as three days in jail.
As a Potential Juror, you have been randomly selected from the master pool of names compiled by the State of Indiana from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the Indiana Department of Revenue. You have been sent a Juror Questionnaire to complete and return to the Jury Administrator.
What are some of the best excuses people have used when they didn't want to show up for jury duty? You are not fluent in English. You are disabled, evidenced by a physician's attestation. You are hospitalized, again evidenced by a physician's attestation.
When writing a jury excuse letter, directly state why you cannot serve and how serving would lead to hardship. Valid exemptions include being ill or disabled, being the sole guardian of young children, or being over the age of 70. Include documentation such as a doctor's note or a letter from an employer.
A request to be excused from jury service must be received by the Jury Department no later than 5 days before the start of your jury term. Excuse requests will be reviewed and decided by a federal judge. You will be notified once a decision is made. You are not considered excused until you are notified.
What if I don't show up for jury duty? You will receive a fail to appear warning letter stating you have failed to appear on a particular date. This letter will give you a number to call to resolve the situation. If you fail to respond to the failure to appear letter, you will be sent a show cause hearing date.
