Superseded

This program is designed for federal courts to use, as they wish, as part of their orientation programs for petit jurors. It welcomes prospective jurors to the court, gives them some juror "do's" and "don'ts," and encourages them to take juror service seriously. It also gives an overview of the jury selection and trial processes. Because administrative details of jury service vary from court to court, the program does not specifically address them, but it advises jurors to ask court personnel if they have questions. The Center sent one copy of the program to each U.S. district court. The video is closed-captioned for the hearing impaired. Courts that regularly receive visitors from foreign judiciaries may want to request Called to Serve with French, Mandarin, Russian, or Spanish subtitles, all of which may be ordered through this Resource Catalog.
