Found out that i did it wrong and the consequences will be very expensive. I got a jury summons in the mail a month ago to report a few weeks ago. So i read everything and thought that i understood it. I was under the assumption that i was only to report if my juror number was in the range of numbers called for that week. What i didnt understand is that once you receive the summons. Even if your number isnt called for that day or even in that range of numbers. You are still to call every evening regardless. Those numbers are just for Monday of the on call week. Each day there is a new range of numbers. The numbers for my week were were in the 1 to 393 range. Mine was in the 400 + range (Not called to report on Monday or what i assumed all week) WRONG! Here is what the website said. This information was not the same on the summons and yes i did call the number and assumed the same from what was stated on the recording. What do you see? and was i wrong? and most importantly, What is next for me? Fine or jail or both. If you have received a Jury Summons in the mail, please review these steps and our frequently asked questions prior to reporting for Jury Service. Remember: everyone who received a summons for a particular week are on call for that entire week. Check each evening after 6pm to find out if you need to report the next day. Please call 652-7170 between 2 and 4:30pm Monday through Friday if you have any further questions concerning jury service in Chatham County. Step 1: FILL OUT your JUROR INFORMATION FORM (1). Your summons will open to three pages after removing the three perforations. Step 2: START CALLING the JUROR INFORMATION LINE (652-7169) the weekend BEFORE your WEEK STARTING DATE. The reporting instructions for the Monday of your week of service is available on the Juror Information Line recording after 6 pm the Friday before, and the Saturday and Sunday before your week of service. Make sure you call during the correct week. The same juror numbers are assigned to different people each week. The recording will tell you the week the recording instructions are for. Step 3: LISTEN for your JUROR NUMBER and TIME TO REPORT. You are to report only when and if your juror number is in the range of numbers required to report during your week of service. This website will also post the range of juror numbers that need to report and the time to report after 6pm each evening.
