Rewind
Re-visiting an old thread with a new spin:
My less than 18 year child (minor) received the "Juror Qualification Questionnaire" recently (from a previously mentioned IN county).
Obviously he is not old enough to vote and he is not old enough to have a driver's license (these were not the sources for his name and address). He has paid IN State and Federal Taxes in prior years (due to capital gains), so this might have been his entry ticket to the pool?
The "Official" Government letter requires a reply within ten days by IN Law (IC-33-4-11-16).
While I agree that citizens should participate as jurors, I think my minor child's responses to the 18 questions (10 of which are labeled as Misc Info) should be limited to his age and/or any of the other factors that would make him ineligible.
What would happen if a minor did not reply to the "Official" letter addressed to him (I will recommend that he does reply, but I do not believe a minor should be required to divulge other personal information about themselves or others).
