Jury Duty
The jury panel
is selected by a lot from all residents in the county who
hold a valid driver's license or Kansas ID card.
Jurors perform
a vital role in the American system of justice. The protection
of our rights and liberties is achieved largely through the
teamwork of judge and jury who, working together in a common
effort, put into practice the principles of our great heritage
of freedom. The judge determines the law to be applied in
the case while the jury decides the facts. Thus, in a very
important way, jurors become a part of the court itself.
Once you have appeared
for jury duty, you have fulfilled your jury duty requirement
for one year. If you are summoned for jury duty and do not
appear, you may be summonsed into Court at a later date and
fined up to $100 per day for every day of jury duty that you
missed.
