Prospective Jurors will receive a letter, Jury Questionnaire, and Exemption / Deferral form from the LaGrange County Jury Administrator. The Jury Questionnaire and Exemption / Deferral form must be completed and returned.

Once a Jury Trial has been scheduled, potential jurors will receive a separate notification if they have been chosen to serve on a specific jury. Those notified will be required to appear in Court on the first morning of trial to participate in the jury selection process. The jury selection process may require a juror to wait a considerable period of time.

• Jurors may bring appropriate reading material with them.
  
  
• Do not bring children with you to jury service.
  
  
• Jurors are not permitted to bring cell phones into the Courthouse during the jury selection process.
  
  
• A juror who is summoned and who willfully and without a reasonable excuse fails to appear for jury service may be found by the Court to be in contempt and subject to penalties provided by law
