Thus, fear of jury duty should not keep you from registering to vote. Jurors are used for both civil and criminal cases. Even though there are a few differences between civil and criminal courts, the role of the jury generally remains the same. Jury selection narrows through a process called âvoir dire.â This is a process used by the courts to obtain an unbiased group of people who are truthful and will deliver a clear and just judgment. This basically means that if you are called for jury duty, you will go through a questioning process. This weeds out those who might have connections to the case preventing them from having an unbiased opinion. So even if you're summoned for jury duty, you might not actually hear a case. You must meet several qualifications in order to be considered for the jury. For example, you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of the county where the case is held, 18 years old or older and understand/speak English.
