Jury Questionnaire

The jury questionnaire form must be filled out by you either online or returned in the self-addressed, stamped envelope provided to you within seven days of your receipt. The questionnaire is for the purpose of assisting the judge and attorneys in the jury selection process.

Honesty

Any person willfully or corruptly making false answers to any of the questions shall be deemed guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Failure to answer questions shall be punishable with contempt of court. (K.S.A. 43-161). Regardless of your personal situation, all juror questionnaires must be completed and returned for processing.

If any of your answers upon such questionnaire disqualify you from service, you will be notified in writing or by telephone that you are excused. If you do not receive such notification, you are required to appear as set forth above, unless, after checking with our answering service, you find that the trial has been cancelled (See Cancellation Procedures on the following tab for more information.)
