Yesterday I received a "Juror Qualification Questionnaire" in the mail from the Hamilton County Courts.
It was not a summons to serve on a jury, but a form to be completed to determine if I'm eligible to be a juror. They also gave me the option to complete the survey online, which I did. The fine print said if they didn't receive a response within ten days, I would be "directed to appear" to complete the form at the Court. (which I was half tempted to do, but I have alot of **** to do in August...)
Getting the survey was kind of irritating really...it was like the extra Census form some people were sent. The questions are basically things like: Am I a citizen? Am I 18? Do I speak, read and write English? etc. The most irritating question was "list members of your household". They gonna be on the jury, too?
I thought jurors were pulled from the ranks of registered voters? If that is the case, several of these questions (citizenship status, age, are my voting rights revoked?) would seem silly, since one needs to be a citizen and 18 or older to vote.
Anyone else ever get this kind of thing?
