WELCOME |
| Welcome
to jury service. We sincerely hope that your stay with us will provide you with an
enjoyable, interesting, educational and meaningful experience regarding the law, the
Courts and our own system of justice. To decide cases correctly, jurors must be honest and intelligent. They must have both integrity and judgment. The jury system is based on these attributes. Jurors must decide the facts and apply the law impartially. They must not favor the rich or the poor. They must treat alike all men and women, corporations and individuals. Justice should be rendered to all persons regardless of race, color or creed. The performance of jury service is the fulfillment of a civil and moral obligation. Conscientious service brings its own reward in the satisfaction of an important task well done. There is no more valuable work that a citizen can perform in support of the judicial system of our government than the full and honest discharge of jury duty. The purpose of this booklet is to familiarize you with some of the facets of jury service and it should not be used in your jury room deliberations. It is not intended to advise you about the law. This is the judge's responsibility and the law can be different in each case. Should you need help with a point of law, please ask the Court. |
