The jury pool
You are summoned to jury duty. This means that you receive a jury summons to perform your jury duty.
No, it is not. Jury is a group noun, a number of people. It is, however, used as a noun adjunct in terms such as jury duty and jury pool.
I was summoned fur jury duty in a federal case by mail. I had to go to the Federal Courthouse Building, where the jury pool was interviewed. I was selected for the jury, and was also selected as the jury foreperson. It was a federal drug case in which the defendant was found guilty.

A jury pool is a group of people from which a legal system may draw to fill a jury. In most places, a jury pool is made up of citizens of a particular jurisdiction who are considered legal adults. Typically, people who have been convicted of committing serious crimes are excluded from a jurisdiction's jury pool. For example, individuals who have committed felonies are usually restricted from serving on juries. Essentially, a jury pool is a population of people who are eligible to serve on jury.
The jury pool is the group from which potential juror's names are taken and sent summons. Before and during voir dire, the potential jurors are often referred to as the jury pool again.
You cannot volunteer for jury duty - your name is picked at random.
Members of a grand jury are randomly chosen from a jury pool. Jury duty is a requirement for American citizens. Americans and typically summoned for jury duty as often as every four years. Grand Jury has long been considered one of the highest duties of citizenship and a unique opportunity for the individual citizen to participate in the administration of justice.
If you reside in a state where the juror pool is drawn from the Motor Vehicle records this could be a factor in your being summoned for jury duty. However in a state where the juror pool is taken from the pool of registered voters this would not occur. If you are drawn form the DMV records you can advise the court of your citizenship status and you MIGHT be excused -OR- if you reach the jury selection phase one of the attorneys on the case may "challenge" you off the jury pool furing Voire Dire.
Same way they are anywhere else.. names are drawn from a pool of potential jurors.
