Jury Duty

Jury duty is a privilege that allows Kentuckians to serve their fellow citizens and contribute to the state's court system. I received a summons for jury duty. How does the jury summons process work? District and circuit judges who need jurors for a trial notify the chief circuit judge or his or her designee. This jury administrator then requests a list of prospective jurors from the master list maintained by the AOC. The prospective jurors on the list are mailed a summons requiring them to report for jury service at a specified time and place. State law requires that the summons be issued at least 30 days before they are to report for service. Prospective jurors must fill out the juror qualification form enclosed with the summons and return it to the circuit court clerk's office within five days of receipt. The information provided on the form determines whether an individual is qualified for jury duty.
