CHAPTER 10 - SELECTION AND EMPANELMENT OF JURORS 10.00 Juror Selection Procedures The Jury Commissioner and/or such staff members as may be designated are authorized to excuse prospective jurors under the following terms and conditions: A. Persons who meet one of the exceptions of California Code of Civil Procedure section 203. B. Persons who, within the past one year, served as trial jurors on any superior or federal court jury panel; served as grand jurors on any county or federal grand jury; or were placed on telephone alert or equivalent standby system for service on any superior or federal court jury panel. C. Persons for whom jury service would constitute undue hardship may apply in writing to the jury commissioner for deferral to another date. Those persons requesting a permanent excuse from jury service due to an undue hardship, with the exception of medical reasons, must make their request to the court at the time they are required to appear pursuant to summons. (Effective 1/1/95; Amended 7/1/2015) 10.01 Requests for Excuse - Procedure Requests for deferral of jury service based upon undue hardship shall be submitted in writing to the Jury Commissioner at least three (3) court days prior to the scheduled start date, or, in exceptional circumstances, at the earliest possible time. Such request must be supported by facts specifying the hardship. The Jury Commissioner will promptly determine whether the deferral shall be granted. Where a prospective juror requests an excuse based on reasons that require verification, i.e. medical reasons, it is the responsibility of the prospective juror to provide sufficient verification or a means of verification to the Jury Commissioner. Where the prospective juror requesting an excuse fails to provide verification or a means of verification, the Jury Commissioner may, on the basis of such failure alone, deny the request. Requests for excuse or deferral that have been denied may be brought before the Judge presiding at the trial for which the juror was summoned. (Effective 1/1/95; Amended 1/1/96; Amended 7/1/11) 10.02 Preparation of Jury Panels The Jury Commissioner shall randomly select a list of persons suitable and competent to serve as trial jurors from a combined voter registration and Department of Motor Vehicles' list, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 197. (Effective 1/1/95; Amended 7/1/2015) 10.03 Sealing of Juror Personal Identifying Information The addresses and telephone numbers of jurors in any criminal jury proceeding are deemed conditionally sealed at the time the jury is discharged, as to persons other than court employees on official business, subject to any person petitioning the court for access to these records. If a petition for access to juror personal identifying information is received, the court shall give all potentially affected jurors at least ten days notice of the hearing date and an opportunity to oppose the unsealing of juror personal identifying information. (Effective 1/1/95; Amended 7/1/04)
