Juror summons的意思

"Juror summons" is a legal term that refers to a document issued by a court to summon or call upon a person to serve as a juror in a trial. A juror is a person who is selected to decide the facts in a case and to render a verdict after hearing all the evidence presented in a court of law.

The summons is typically sent to potential jurors in advance of a trial date and includes information about when and where the individual is required to report for jury duty. It may also provide instructions on what to bring, such as a government-issued photo ID, and what to expect during the jury selection process.

Fulfilling jury duty is a civic responsibility and obligation for many citizens, and failure to respond to a juror summons or to appear for jury duty without a valid excuse can result in penalties, such as a fine or a bench warrant. However, exemptions or deferrals may be available for certain individuals, such as those with certain medical conditions, full-time students, or those who are primary caregivers.
