Jury participation gives citizens
insider's view of judicial system
By Um Kosse
Ilf Ihf Kimtf ald
Many people never see the in
side of a courtroom, hut serving
jury duty is one way citizens
tain become involved in the
judicial system.
|ury duty is not as time
consuming as many people
believe, said Tina And resen.
Municipal Court jury clerk.
"People don't understand that
we're not going to keep them for
months at a time," she said.
New jurors arc required to at
tend a one-hour orientation ses
sion on the first day of each
month. After this, jurors are
placed "on call" for about one
month. They have to call after 4
p.m. and before 8 a m every
day to set* if their juror number
is listed for the next day's trial.
"Ninety-nine percent of the
| time" the trials last only one
| day. Andresen said. "jurors
won't serve two days in a row
unless the trial goes over, which
is extremely rare."

25.000 county residents art?
chosen as prospective jurors,
she said, and only about KM) are
excused completely.
"All have their reasons such
as health, employment reasons,
religious beliefs" or student
conflicts. Andresen said.
In order to be excused from
duty, prospective jurors must
file an excusal form A judge
reviews the form and rules on it.
If the excuse on the form is tent
vague or inadequate, the judge
may overrule it. Andresen said.
The prospective juror is notified
by mail.
Twelve jurors are selected for
each Municipal Court trial, but
only six are actually used. The
attorneys in the case grill the
prospective jurors and select six
based on their answers. An
dresen said.
The Municipal Court deals
with major traffic offenses, such
as drunk driving and hit-and
run accidents, and city or
dinance violations, such as
shoplifting. District and circuit
courts deal with cases of a larger
magnitude.
Luci Michaud, jury clerk of
I.ane County District and Cir
cuit Courts, hears "all the time”
that the possibility of serving
jury duty discourages voter
registration.
However, a new statute
allows jury selection to be deter
mined through means other
than voter registration lists.
Alternatives include motor
vehicle registration lists and
hunting permit lists. Michaud
said.
On rare occasions, an entire
jury has had to be dismissed
due to a mistake in the pro
ceedings. such as mentioning a
piece of evidence that was not
supposed to be used. Michaud
said. In this case a mistrial is
declared, and a new jury is
selected.
District Court cases range
from traffic misdemeanors to
civil cases for $10,000 and less.
Circuit Court handles felony
cases, which can result in jail
sentences, and civil cases over
$10,000.
City Prosecutor Dan Barkovic
looks for jurors that will be sym
pathetic to his side of the case,
as do most attorneys, he said.
“They (the jurors) have to be
able to evaluate credibility of
the witnesses,” he said. He
likes to make sure that jurors
will hear all the facts and
arguments before they make up
their minds, he said.
Prospective jurors are re
quired to fill out a questionnaire
with some background informa
tion. The attorneys at a jury trial
work off of these to determine
questioning. "It depends on the
case.” Barkovic said.
Barkovic believes jury trials
require more persuasive skills
on the part of the attorney, he
said. "It is easier to convince a
judge than a jury.” he said.
