I have a question about the Jury Duty selection?

Question

In jury duty what group is most likely to be called for Jury Duty?

I wondering because i have jury duty in a couple of weeks.The group number im in is Group 5 and im on call. How likely is it for group 5 to go? out of all the groups what jury gets selected first?

Answer 1

Not knowing where you live, I can only tell you for the places I have lived.

In California, Texas, NM, and OH they rotate the groups If group one through three get called for Tue. 5 Aug., 2008. Then the next time they need jurors Group 4 and 5 get called depending on how many they need.

The time after that if it is busy they may call groups 6 through 9 and also group 1 again. Saw it happen in CA again it depends on how many jurors they think they will need. I saw a time in Lordsburg NM where the local Deputy came into the diner and picked 14 people including me and my buddy while traveling in uniform. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The region where you live may have different selection processes for which group is picked to participate in jury duty.  In otherwords you may or may not have to go.  Many centers have a phone number you can call which will notify if your group has to report in or wait or bypassed.  You might want to see if you can call in and get info...

Answer 3

the groups are called at random
