How does someone get picked for jury duty?
The jury duty list is generally taken from the list of persons who have drivers licenses throughout the state. It had been the practice many years ago that only persons owning land would be selected but this was abolished as being unfair to persons not owning property, because they would have persons perhaps not in their social class judging them. Later, the jury lists were taken from voter registration records, but this was also abolished in virtually all jurisdictions, because people could avoid jury duty by simply not voting. This was a double dereliction of civic responsibility. If you have never been called for duty but want to serve, you can contact the local or state jury commission to volunteer to be put into the general pool of people to be called at random.

How do they determine who is called for jury duty?
Random choice from the active voter roles gets you called in. Then there is a selection process involving the attorneys and judge. I have been a registered voter since 1989 and have never been called for jury duty. I'm willing but not asked. It's important that there is a definite formula, such as every 8,129th name on the list. Anything else could lend itself to manipulation. Even if you are called for jury service, don't get too excited. I was once called ages ago. As a gang of 5 young men was going to be tried (and all can object to jurors) a large number of people were called, but in the end they all members pleaded guilty to lesser charges (plea bargaining).
