WHAT WE DO...
The Jury Administration function is
responsible for ensuring that each court, within Ingham
County, has the proper number of qualified prospective
jurors, as required by the individual courts. In
addition to, or as a by-product of determining and
securing qualified jurors, detailed records and
correspondence are maintained within the office.
Public Office
Hours:
Monday through
Friday, 7:30AM-5:00PM
Jury Administration/Selection
The Jury Board oversees jury
selection activities and Jury Administration assists
them. The staff mails and screens juror personal history
questionnaires in accordance with the law and
coordinates the draw and mailing of summons for all
Ingham County courts. Jury Administration staff also
acts as liaison with the public.
You Can Make a Difference
Without you, the jury system can not
work. We know that jury service means rearranging
schedules, canceling appointments, and oftentimes
missing work. But if you were on trial, wouldn't you
want someone like you to make the sacrifices necessary
to be a part of your jury? Your public service as a
juror protects our right to have a trial by an impartial
jury.
General Questions
about Jury Service.
How did we get your name?
We obtain names from the Secretary of
State from their driver license and state ID lists. If
the information you provide to these two sources is not
identical you may receive two questionnaires.
What is the Difference between a
Questionnaire and a Summons?
A Jury Questionnaire
begins the screening process for prospective jurors.
After reviewing your questionnaire, you may be selected
for jury service during the court year. A questionnaire
does not mean you have to report for jury
service, it is the first step in determining who is
eligible to service as a juror.
You are only required to report to
Court if you receive a Summons
for jury service. If you are unable to serve once you
receive a summons, you may contact the appropriate court
clerk as instructed by the summons.
