Why Have I Been Chosen?

Everyone between 18 and 70 years who is on the electoral register can be called for jury service. You have been chosen at random from the electoral register.

Why do I have to do it?

The jury plays an important part in a trial. It is their task to consider the evidence presented to them and reach a verdict of guilty or not guilty. Receiving a summons means you are legally required to attend court. Please don’t be worried by this – once most people get over the initial concern, they find jury service interesting and rewarding.
