"Citizens of the United States have enjoyed for over 200 years the right to have their cases decided by a jury of their peers. Jury service is not merely your responsibility, it is also a cherished right."

– Honorable Timothy C. Evans, Chief Judge

Introduction to Jury Service

The Office of Jury Administration is responsible for providing a qualified pool of jurors to ensure the right of all citizens to a trial by an impartial jury. The United States is the only country in the world to guarantee its citizens the right to a jury trial in both civil and criminal cases. Citizens who fulfill their jury service obligation are continuing a tradition established under the U.S. Constitution over two hundred years ago. Indeed, the right to a trial by an impartial jury of one's peers is an integral part of the foundation of American democracy.

Jury service is a serious, meaningful, and important responsibility. The court's goal is to make jury service convenient and easy. To accomplish this, the Office of Jury Administration has implemented innovative and streamlined practices designed to put the comfort and convenience of jurors first and foremost. Jurors are summoned for either direct service or as standby jurors.  

• If your summons is NOT a Standby Summons, you MUST appear on the date and location specified on your summons.   
• I f your summons states SUMMONS FOR STANDBY JURY SERVICE at the top of your summons, then you must check to see if you are required to serve after 4:30 p.m. on the business day before your service date. If your service date is a Monday, you can check anytime throughout the weekend or after 4:30 on the proceeding Friday. You may check your standby status by calling (312) 603-5950. 

Upon reporting for service jurors can expect to serve for the duration of one trial. If by the end of your first day of service, you have not been empaneled on a jury and are not in a courtroom for jury selection, you will be excused from further service. Our system is called one day/one trial.  

The Circuit Court of Cook County has also implemented a Senior Citizen Opt-Out Program which permits persons aged 70 or older to decline jury service. These programs and many others are all explained in greater detail below. 

Below is a list of common questions prospective jurors have. Additionally, if you have any additional questions or comments, feel free to contact the Office of Jury Administration at (312) 603-JURY.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Jury Duty

For prospective jurors.

The Office of Jury Administration provides qualified jurors to the Circuit Court of Cook County. The office's duties include: mailing jury summonses; assessing requests to be excused, transferred to another courthouse or postponed to a later date; providing orientation and answering juror questions; and paying jurors for their service.

You should arrive promptly at the time indicated on the top portion of the summons. The time will be either 8:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., or 9:30 a.m. depending on the location to which you have been summoned. If you are not sure what time to arrive, please call (312) 603-JURY.

Jurors should dress comfortably, but properly for a courthouse. Shorts, mini-skirts, tank tops and halters are NOT permitted. If you report wearing any of these items, you will be asked to return home, at your own expense, to change into more suitable attire.

The jury process can require a juror to wait a considerable amount of time. For this reason, jurors are encouraged to bring a book or other form of reading material with them to the jury assembly room. Jurors may NOT bring cameras or radios. The jury assembly room staff will store any of these items that a juror brings until the juror leaves for the day.

The courthouse ban on cell phones and electronic devices was enacted to protect the privacy and safety of persons attending court and to maintain court decorum. It does not apply to persons reporting for jury service. You may bring such devices with you when you report for jury service and use them while you are in the jury assembly room. However, they must be turned off when you are in a courtroom. The trial judge will inform you whether you may use such devices to take notes during the trial.

Jurors are allowed to bring cell phones and electronic devices into any Circuit Court of Cook County court facility. Please have your summons available at the court facility’s security checkpoint to verify your jury service. If you have misplaced your summons, please call (773) 674-3129 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at least one business day prior to your service date to have a replacement summons faxed or e-mailed to you.  Cell phones and electronic devices may be used only in the jury assembly room and in areas away from the courtrooms.  

Yes, free wireless internet connectivity is provided for your convenience in the jury assembly rooms at all courthouse locations.

Yes, a private location will be provided for nursing mothers. Upon arrival in the jury assembly room, please let one of the jury room personnel know that you require use of the lactation space and they will accommodate you. If you are sent to a courtroom or empaneled on a jury, please make the courtroom personnel aware of your needs and they can make the necessary arrangements to accommodate you.  

Additionally, Illinois law (705 ILCS 305/10.3) states: “...Any mother nursing her child shall, upon request, be excused from jury service.” If you would like to request to be excused for this reason, please contact our office at 312-603-JURY [5879] and one of our juror coordinators will gladly assist you.

Yes, you are paid for jury service. You will receive $35.00 for each day that you serve.

No. An employer is NOT required by law to pay employees who are on jury service but many employers do. You should check with your company's human resources department before serving to see if your company pays your salary for days you are a juror. If you DO receive your salary while on jury service, you should ask what your employer requires as proof that you served as a juror.

No. According to Illinois law, "…An employer may not deny an employee time off for jury duty. No employer shall discharge, threaten to discharge, intimidate or coerce any employee by reason of the employee's jury service, or the attendance or scheduled attendance in connection with such service…" 705-ILCS 305/4.1(a). If you are fired or experience workplace problems based on your participation in jury service, write a letter detailing what occurred to: Cook County State’s Attorney 50 W. Washington – Room 500 Richard J. Daley Center Chicago, Illinois 60602

If you are NOT selected to serve on a jury, you will be released at 4:30 p.m. If you are selected to serve on a jury, you will be released when the trial judge says you can leave (usually no later than 6:00 p.m.).

After completing jury service, you should NOT be called to serve again for a period of 12 months from the date you last served. If you are summoned again within this time period, simply call the Office of Jury Administration at (312) 603-JURY to be excused. You may be asked to show proof of jury service, so please retain your check receipts for your records.

Failure to appear for jury service when summoned is a serious matter. You may be held in contempt of court which could result in a fine or other court-imposed penalty. It is in your best interest to appear if you are summoned to avoid any further action.

Yes. Pay phones and vending machines are located in the jury assembly room. If you plan to make calls or purchase vending items, please bring enough change. Jury assembly room staff will not be able to provide change.

Jury Duties & Selection Process

Every year the Office of Jury Administration receives a list of Cook County residents from the Illinois Secretary of State, the Cook County Board of Elections, and the Chicago Board of Elections. These lists are then combined into one master list and names are randomly selected to receive jury summonses.

To be qualified as a juror you must be:

• at least 18 years of age or older
• a U.S. citizen
• a resident of Cook County

If you do not meet ALL of these qualifications, please contact the Office of Jury Administration before the date you are supposed to serve. Please be prepared to support your belief that you are not qualified to serve.

Your service date can be extended either 11 or 22 weeks depending on the circumstances. Some valid reasons include:

• You have scheduled vacation.
• You are a student/teacher (during school period).
• You are a seasonal worker.

If you have any other reason for an extension other than those listed above, please call (312) 603-JURY and we will try to accommodate you.

You can be transferred to another court location depending on the circumstances. Some valid reasons include:

• You are medically unable to travel to a location.
• You must provide childcare and need to be located closer to home.
• You do not drive and there is no public transportation available in your area.

If you have any other reason to be transferred to another court location other than those listed above, please call (312) 603-JURY and we will try to accommodate you.

You can be excused from jury service depending on the circumstances. Some valid reasons include:

• You have a medical condition and jury service presents a hazard to your health.
• You are an active member of the military. (National Reserve members are NOT exempt.)
• You currently have a lawsuit filed in Cook County.
• You currently reside in a nursing home or institution.
• You will suffer extreme financial hardship.
• You cannot obtain childcare.
• You are the primary caretaker of another person.

ALL OF THE ABOVE REASONS MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IN ORDER TO BE ACCEPTED. If you have any other reason to be excused other than those listed above, please call (312) 603-JURY and talk to a jury coordinator.

The Opt-Out Program allows potential jurors 70 years of age or older to either transfer to another court location or choose not to participate in jury service. In order to opt-out, you must call (312) 603-JURY before your service date. Opting-out does NOT remove your name from the juror list indefinitely. You may be summoned again at a later date, at which time you may either choose to serve or call to opt-out again.

The United States Constitution and the Illinois Constitution guarantee all people, regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin or economic status the right to trial by an impartial jury of one's peers. In order to uphold this guarantee, we need those summoned to participate in the jury process to ensure every citizen's right to have their case decided by an impartial jury selected from a representative pool of prospective jurors.

Any person charged with a criminal offense or any party in a civil case has the right to a trial by jury. All parties are equal before the law and each is given the same fair and impartial treatment.

Your duty as a juror is to weigh all of the evidence and testimony presented to you and to decide the outcome of the case based upon the law and the evidence. Your decision must be fair, impartial and free of any bias or prejudice. Jury service is the basis of our judicial system and is essential to the administration of justice.

After your panel is selected and reports to a courtroom, a process known as voir dire begins. During voir dire, the judge and possibly the attorneys will ask you questions to see if you can keep an open mind and be fair. After you have been questioned, you will either be selected or excused for that particular case. If you are selected, you and the other selected jurors will receive instructions from the judge as to what is expected of you. If you are not selected, you will return to the jury room and may be sent to another courtroom with another panel. If you are not selected by the end of the day, you will be released from the jury room and your service will be completed for at least one year.

If you are selected to sit on a jury, the average trial length is two to three days, although trials may be longer or shorter depending upon the facts of the case.

There are two basic types of cases; criminal and civil. The difference between the two is as follows: 

• In a CRIMINAL case, the jury decides the guilt or innocence of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt.
• In a CIVIL case, the jury decides whether or not monetary damages should be awarded, and if given, how much those damages will be.

Beware of Jury Duty Scams

There have been reports of unscrupulous individuals posing as representatives of the Office of Jury Administration, or other court officials, in an attempt to obtain confidential personal information to be used for identity theft.

In this scam, an individual pretending to be a jury coordinator calls you and claims that you have failed to respond to a jury summons and that a warrant has been issued for your arrest. When you state that you have never received a summons, the caller will say that he or she will require information for “verification purposes” in order to “cancel the arrest warrant.” At this point, the caller will ask for sensitive information such as social security number, date of birth, and even bank or credit card information.

If you receive such a call, do not give out any sensitive personal information . Hang up immediately and call your local police to report the incident.

If you are concerned that you may have fallen victim to this or any other identity theft scam, please report the incident to the Illinois Attorney General’s Identity Theft Hotline at 1 (866) 999-5630 (or call 711 for hearing / speech relay service) . This hotline is staffed by advocates specially trained to help victims repair their credit, dispute fraudulent debts, and prevent future victimization. You should also contact the Federal Trade Commission’s Identity Theft Hotline at 1 (877) 438-4338.

The Office of Jury Administration will never phone, text, or email you asking for social security numbers or any other private and confidential information. The Office of Jury Administration contacts the public concerning all jury-related matters only by First-Class or Certified U.S. Mail.

In this hoax, you are contacted via text and/or email which says that you are on a jury duty failure to appear list, and that you face a $500 fine and a 30-day prison sentence for failing to appear for jury duty. You are instructed to call a number to receive a message. The phone numbers to call are (704) 319-7259, (704) 319-7254, or (704) 319-7242. 

These texts and/or emails are a hoax and should be ignored. The Office of Jury Administration will never phone, text, or email you asking for social security numbers or any other private and confidential information.

Information for Jurors OR Questions About Jury Service

You may respond to the Juror Information Form and Supplemental Questionnaire you just received. This questionnaire is intended to determine if you are qualified for jury service (it is not a summons). Once you complete this questionnaire online, you do not have to mail in the hard copy that was mailed to you.

You may respond to the jury summons you just received. This will enable you to complete your juror information form and supplemental questionnaire. Once you complete both online, you do not have to mail in the hard copies that were included in your summons.

You may access your reporting instructions . These same reporting instructions can be accessed by calling: 1-888-587-9329 or 1-210-472-4912 . Check your summons handout to reference when you are instructed to check your reporting instructions.

You may submit an excuse request or postponement . Please note that only summoned jurors can submit an excuse request. Also, you must complete your juror information form and the supplemental questionnaire before an excuse request can be submitted.

Jury Service

A random selection of names of prospective jurors to serve on grand and petit juries is drawn from the General Election Voter Registration Lists (“voter registration lists”) of the counties comprising each division. These randomly drawn names make up the Master Jury Wheel. Another randomized selection is performed for purposes of determining qualification for jury service. These prospective jurors are sent qualification questionnaire forms in order to determine their qualification for jury service. Individuals that are deemed qualified for jury service make up the Qualified Jury Wheel. A random selection of names is drawn from this Qualified Jury Wheel in order to summon individuals for jury service.

Jurors are paid $50.00 per day attendance fee (with the exception of Federal Government employees). You will also be paid a round trip mileage fee from your residence. Payment of parking fees varies by division office. See the local jury instructions for specifics for the courthouse you will be serving jury duty in. If a juror travels more than 70 miles, one-way, that person has the option to stay at a hotel/motel with reimbursement according to the fee schedule for the division they will be serving jury duty in. Jurors can call for the information. Hotel receipts will be required.

Jury panels serve the courts on an “on call” basis. The length of service for each jury panel differs by division. Upon receipt of the jury information packet, you will be advised of your term of service.

Jurors are given a telephone number to be used during their term of service as prospective jurors. Each juror is assigned a panel number and a unique juror number. Because the jury dockets are constantly changing, each person summoned for jury service is instructed to call the jury information line or access the jury instructions on this website for confirmation of attendance.

The only person authorized to excuse, exclude, exempt or disqualify a juror from jury service in federal court is the Judge. Federal law allowing the granting of excuses is very strict. All requests for excuses and postponements are submitted in writing to the Office of the Clerk, Attention: Jury Clerk. All excuses based on medical conditions must be accompanied by a letter from your physician stating why you are unable to attend. Upon receipt of these requests, the jury clerk logs them in and routes them to the Judge for a ruling. This office will notify you either by telephone or letter immediately upon receipt of the Judge’s reply to your request. It is important to submit the written request for excuses and postponements as early as possible. A juror should not assume a request will be granted. An unexcused absence may result in a charge of contempt of Court and a subsequent fine and/or imprisonment.

Yes, specific dress codes are set by each judge. See the local jury instructions for details.

Due to increased security at all Federal Courthouses and buildings, it will be necessary for you to pass through a metal detector as you enter the court facility. Your purses, bags, and briefcases will be x-rayed at the same time. To expedite your entrance, it is recommended that you wear as little jewelry as possible and leave any excess metal at home. The following list includes some items that are not allowed into the courthouse:

• Mace/Stun Guns
• Tape Recorders
• Aerosol Cans (e.g. Hair Spray)
• Knives (including pocket knives and metal nail files)
• All Firearms or dangerous weapons * * 18 USC. Sec. 930, “It is illegal to possess Firearms and Dangerous Weapons in Federal Facilities.”

The use of cell phones in the courthouse varies from division to division. See local jury instructions for further information.

Jurors who fail to report for jury duty and who have not been excused by the Court may be served a Show Cause Order by a Deputy United States Marshal. Those jurors will be ordered to appear before the Court to show cause why they should not be held in contempt of the Jury Service and Selection Act. Contempt penalties range from a $1,000.00 fine, imprisoned not more than three (3) days, ordered to perform community service, or any combination thereof.

You are protected by Federal Statute, 28 U.S.C. 1875. No employer shall discharge, threaten to discharge, intimidate, or coerce any permanent employee by reason of such employee’s jury service, or the attendance or scheduled attendance in connection with such service, in any court of the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions

Selection and qualification.

The jury wheel, which is the list of potential jurors, comes from three lists:

• All registered voters in Travis County
• All registered voters from neighboring counties that reside within Austin city limits
• All persons in Travis County with either a Texas driver’s license or a Department of Public Safety identification card

Each year, the Voter lists and DPS lists are merged by matching the names as best as is possible to minimize duplications. The merged list is given to the Travis County District Clerk. The district clerk, county clerk, and sheriff then meet to ‘reconstitute’ the jury wheel by replacing the old list with the new one. Jury summonses are sent from the jury wheel on a random basis.

About 120,000 to 150,000 summonses are sent each year.

To serve as a juror you must meet these qualifications:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Be a citizen of this state and a resident of the county or city in which you are to serve as a juror (Travis County or the City of Austin)

All requests to be excused are subject to verification.

Failure to Answer Summons : In addition to criminal penalties described by law, a person who fails to comply with this summons, or who knowingly provides false information for an exemption or to be excused from jury service, is subject to a contempt action punishable by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 (Gov’t Code § 62.0141).

Right to Reemployment : An employer may not discharge, threaten to discharge, intimidate, or coerce any permanent employee because the employee serves as a juror, or for the employee's attendance or scheduled attendance in connection with jury service. (Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 122.001).

Being Assigned to a Trial

You can respond to a summons one of two ways:

• Anytime, on the Internet using I-Jury™.
• 5325 Airport Blvd., Suite 1100, Austin, TX 78751 (At the corner of Airport & 53-1/2 Street)Parking is available at 5501 Airport Blvd. (Map)

This depends on whether you fail to respond to a summons or fail to report to court as assigned.

If you miss the deadline stated on your summons for responding to that summons, you can still use I-Jury™ to respond. If you want to respond in person at the Travis County Jury Office, you can do that as well.

If you have already responded to a summons and received an assignment to a specific court, then failure to report to the courtroom is a serious matter for which you can be fined. Once you receive an assignment, you need to make arrangements to be in court on time on the date you are to report.

At impaneling, jurors are:

• Given an oath of office. You may affirm or promise if you do not give oaths.
• Qualified to serve. We depend upon jurors to let the judge know if they are concerned about being qualified.
• Excused or postponed if permitted by law . Most excuses that are not disqualifications or exemptions are at the judge’s discretion.
• Given information about jury service in general. We try to let you know what to expect and what to do.
• Assigned to various trials. Your assignment will be in writing and contain all the information you need about where and when to report for jury selection.

Before going to I-Jury™, have the following available:

• Your summons form (if you don’t have your summons form, contact the jury office at 854-9669 for assistance)
• Your business and personal calendars

Once you have these items, go to the I-Jury™ form. Please pay special attention to the Juror Responsibilities page. You will need to follow those directions to ensure you:

• Fill out the form completely.
• Check your email daily for assignments and updates.
• Most importantly, report to the court on time.

Please read each section carefully. Pay special attention to listing your conflict dates. You are committing to being available for jury duty on the days in which you do not have a conflict.

Once you submit the form, check your email a few minutes later to ensure you received a confirmation copy. This lets you know your form was transmitted properly. Save this copy on your email system until your jury service is completed.

If you provided an email address, you should immediately receive a confirmation email from I-Jury™ after completing the online registration. If you don’t see an email from our office, it’s possible your confirmation email was sent to your spam folder or the registration did not go through. If you do not have your acknowledgment within 2 business days, call the jury office at (512) 854-9669 to verify that we actually received your registration form on our end or if you need to resubmit it.

Your email from I-Jury™ will be your acknowledgment and will be one of the following:

• ASSIGNMENT PENDING: This states you are qualified for jury service and can expect a court assignment in the next few days via email. Read carefully as it might specify the dates you can expect to start jury service.
• EXCUSE: This states that you have been excused entirely from jury service and will not be required to report.
• INFORMATION REQUIRED: We may need more information from you or your physician to determine whether or when you should serve as a juror.
• REVIEW PENDING: Some situations require that the judge review your I-Jury™ form. We will contact you via email once the judge determines whether you are required to serve.

If you do not have your acknowledgement within 2 business days, call the jury office at (512) 854-9669 to verify that we actually received your I-Jury™ form.

Getting Ready to go to Court

What you do:

Add your assignment to your business and personal calendars to remind yourself to appear in court. You are now an Officer of the Court. This is an important responsibility, and your attendance in court is essential.

• Save the email until your jury service is complete. Print the email if you can.
• Read the assignment carefully and follow the instructions.
• Keep checking your email and your voicemail for any assignment updates.

What we do:

Your I-Jury™ form and those of your fellow jurors are being provided to the judge of the court to whom you are assigned and to the attorneys who will be trying the case. The information on the forms is used to prepare for the trial.

Part of this preparation includes deciding exactly when the trial will start. If there is any change in start time, we will notify you as soon as possible, so checking your email and voice mail daily is important!

Text Messages:

Travis County’s award-winning jury impaneling system just got better!  We’ve added features to keep you up to date on your jury assignment. Once you have completed jury registration, I-Jury™ will:

• Give you a reminder call the night before you are to report to court for your assignment.
• Provide the status of your assignment when you call in using the automated system, and

When you register for jury service, make sure you enter your cell phone # in the field for text updates to take full advantage of these features and avoid an unnecessary trip to the courthouse in the event your assignment is canceled.

The exact starting time for certain trials are not determined until shortly before the trial starts.

If your assignment says to call before coming to the courthouse, you must do so at the time stated. If you call earlier, you may be calling before the final decision is made and may have to call back again later. You can avoid an unnecessary trip to the courthouse if you call at the proper time so you can receive the correct time to report.

There are two types of assignments that give a date and time only:

• We may contact you directly by email and/or telephone to let you know when and where to report for a trial.
• Your assignment instructs you to call in to find out whether you are needed for a trial. If needed, you will learn in your phone call when and where to report. If you are not needed, you will be released from jury service.
• When you are assigned to Standby, you do not need to call and check-in, but you will need to keep an eye on your email on a daily basis for updates to your status. We try to give 24-hour notice if your status is updated to a specific court. If you reach the end of your stand-by time frame, you will receive an email letting you know your service is completed until the next time you are summoned by our office.

Absolutely!

We could tell you all the reasons given in government or civics classes, but most of you have already heard them. We could tell you how serving on a jury is an interesting and rewarding experience, but you’ll find that out for yourself. We could also talk about service to your community, being part of the justice system, the need for citizen participation, group decision-making, and all the other reasons why you should serve.

Ultimately,  you have to serve because the law requires it.

The law says that the names of people who register to vote, who drive a car, or who have a Texas DPS ID card go into the system, so your name was included.

The law says names are randomly selected from this system to receive a summons, and your name was selected.

The law specifies who is qualified to serve and who can be exempted or excused, and unless you were discharged under these specifications, you were assigned to a trial.

Finally, the law says that failure to report for jury service carries a penalty of up to $1000 fine, and in some instances, the judge can hold you in contempt of court and order jail confinement.

We recognize the impact a jury summons has on your life, and we do all we can to ensure your jury service is as easy and convenient as possible. But we can’t make it go away.

Once you have completed the online registration, if you forgot to add a conflicting date, please contact our office immediately at 512-854-9669 and we will let you know if we can add in additional conflict dates and get you reassigned.

Once you are assigned, your obligation to report to court is established and you cannot be released unless approved by a judge. If an emergency occurs, contact the phone number on your assignment letter as soon as possible. It will be up to a judge whether or not to release or reschedule you for a later date.

Once assigned to a trial, you cannot be rescheduled because new schedule conflicts arise. One of your obligations as a juror is to be available for service on dates other than the conflict dates reported on your I-Jury™ form.

During the Trial

The judge, court staff, attorneys, and fellow jurors expect you to arrive prepared for jury selection on time. The judge has the authority to authorize the Sheriff or Constable to apprehend jurors who fail to appear.

Failure to report for jury service carries a penalty of up to a $1000 fine, and in some instances, the judge can hold you in contempt of court and confine you to jail. Payment of a fine will not discharge you from jury service. You can still be required to serve even if you are fined.

If an emergency arises that keeps you from appearing, see section Getting Ready to go to Court - I don’t think I’ll be able to come to court as assigned. What should I do?

Your trial assignment letter, which you receive at impaneling or via email, will provide transportation instructions. If you are assigned to the Travis County courthouse complex, no public garage parking is available. You can elect to pay to park for up to 3 hours at one of the City parking meters around the courthouse; however, the number of spaces is limited.

Security has been enhanced. As a juror you can expect to go through security screening, including a metal detector and an X-ray machine for your belongings. Other security measures have been taken which you likely will not see. We recommend leaving knives and other pointed objects behind as these are not allowed to be brought into the courthouse.

Jurors hear either civil or criminal cases. Civil cases may involve small claims, requests for moderate damages, or millions of dollars in damages. They can also involve family law matters or requests for non-monetary relief. Criminal trials include traffic violations, misdemeanors, and felonies.

During the trial, you should follow the judge’s instructions as to your conduct and listen to the evidence. Expect to spend time in the jury room away from the courtroom as the judge and lawyers discuss matters outside the jury’s presence. At some point, you will gather in the jury room and deliberate to reach a verdict. The judge will give you written instructions on how to deliberate.

After the Trial is Over

We use lists of names from different sources to create the list of names for jury service. Sometimes, we are not able to match names from each of these lists. If we can’t make the match, you might get another summons. If this occurs and you were selected to serve as a petit juror from the first summons, the law allows you a two-year exemption from having to serve a second time.

Effective 9/1/2023: Jurors are paid $20.00 the first day of service. Jurors selected to serve are paid $58.00 per day beginning the second day of service. *This does not apply to jurors assigned to the City of Austin Municipal Court.

The law does require that your employer allow you time off from work to fulfill your jury service obligations, and you cannot be discharged from your job for being on jury duty. If your employer does not comply with the law, civil and criminal sanctions may apply. The law does not require that your employer pay you while you are on jury duty, though many choose to do so.

We will provide you with proof of your appearance in court when you are discharged from jury service. Please keep this paperwork for at least 3 months after you have been discharged.

When you are released from jury duty, you will be given a form to complete regarding your jury pay. You may choose to be paid or to donate your pay to one of five funds:

• Travis County Health and Human Service Agencies
• Travis County Child Welfare Board
• Dispute Resolution Center of Travis County
• Texas Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund
• Travis County Veterans’ Court Program
• Travis County Veterans’ Services Department
• Travis County DWI Court Program

The questionnaire you complete as part of jury service is confidential and cannot be disclosed to persons who are not involved with trying the case to which you are assigned. Your name, however, does become a part of the official record available to the public.

Jury panel is the entire group of people selected and assigned to panels to perform a jury duty in a judicial proceeding . Each person in the jury panel are prospective jurors . Every prospective juror in the panel will be briefed by the judges and challenged by lawyers who are provided with a jury list containing each prospective juror’s name, address and occupation. A juror can be excused from the panel if the lawyer shows that the juror cannot act impartially. Each side can also excuse a limited number of jurors from the panel without giving any reasons.

Generally, eight jurors are seated in a jury panel in civil cases , with six selected to deliberate and two serving as alternates. A greater number of jurors are assigned to a jury panel in criminal cases because a trial jury in criminal cases usually have 12 people.

A jury panel is supposed to be racially diverse and representative of different communities.

Jury Service

Jury service is a civic duty. A jury decides the facts of a case in accordance with principles of the law as explained by a judge. 

Jurors listen to testimony, review evidence, and render decisions in civil and criminal trials. Most U.S. citizens who are 18 or older may serve on a federal jury. The Jury Selection and Service Act establishes the process for selecting jurors and provides requirements citizens must meet in order to qualify for serving on a federal jury.  

Summoned for Federal Jury Service?

Visit the website of the district court where you were selected to serve to complete an online Juror Qualification Questionnaire via the federal court's eJuror.

Juror Selection Process

What Is a Jury Panel?

A jury panel is a group of prospective jurors assembled for jury selection in a legal proceeding. These individuals are summoned to court and undergo a selection process to determine if they will serve on a jury for a specific trial.

Jury Panel Explained

A jury panel forms a crucial part of the jury selection process, known as "voir dire." Here is a detailed breakdown of its components and purpose:

1. Summons and Assembly: Potential jurors receive a summons to appear in court on a specified date. They assemble as a *jury panel* in the courtroom or a designated area.

2. Voir Dire Process: During voir dire, attorneys for both parties, as well as the judge, question the jury panel to assess the suitability of each potential juror. This process helps identify any biases, conflicts of interest, or other factors that might affect a juror's ability to serve impartially.

3. Challenges: Attorneys can challenge potential jurors either for cause (where a specific reason must be given) or through peremptory challenges (which do not require a stated reason). Challenges for cause address issues like knowledge of the case, personal relationships with parties involved, or inherent biases.

4. Selection of the Jury: From the jury panel, a final jury is selected. The number of jurors selected typically ranges from six to twelve, depending on the jurisdiction and type of case. Additional alternate jurors may also be chosen to step in if a juror cannot complete the trial.

5. Empaneling the Jury: Once selected, jurors take an oath to serve impartially and are empaneled to hear the case.

The Term Jury Panel in Different Legal Contexts

Criminal Trials: In criminal cases, the jury panel plays a vital role in ensuring a fair trial by selecting impartial jurors who will determine the defendant's guilt or innocence based on evidence presented.

Civil Trials: In civil litigation, the jury panel helps form a jury that will decide on issues such as liability and damages. The process remains similar, focusing on impartiality and fairness.

Grand Jury: Different from a trial jury, a grand jury panel is used to determine whether there is enough evidence to indict a suspect and proceed to trial. Grand jury proceedings are typically more secretive and involve a larger panel of jurors.

Common Misconceptions About the Meaning of Jury Panel

A common misconception is that the jury panel is the same as the final jury. The jury panel consists of all prospective jurors summoned for selection. The final jury is chosen from this panel after the voir dire process.

Some believe that anyone on the jury panel can serve on the jury. Not all members of the jury panel will serve on the jury. The voir dire process identifies suitable candidates, and some prospective jurors may be dismissed through challenges for cause or peremptory challenges.

Another misconception is that the jury panel remains involved throughout the trial. Once the final jury is selected, the rest of the jury panel is typically dismissed. The selected jurors are the ones who hear the case, deliberate, and render a verdict.

A Montgomery County juror must be at least 18 years of age, a citizen of the United States, a resident of Montgomery County, and be able to communicate in English.

Any citizen selected for a jury trial serves for the duration of one trial, regardless of how long that trial may be. Montgomery County participates in the "one day, one trial" process. If you are not assigned to a trial by the end of the day, your service is complete. The judge reserves the right to keep a panel of jurors longer than one day if the jury selection process has not finished.

The average length of our trials is 2-3 days. However, some trials may be longer. You will be told the length of the trial upon arrival in the courtroom.

Persons with disabilities may request reasonable accommodations. Accommodation requests must be made by telephone ( 240-777-9090 ) or submitted in writing to the Jury Office (50 Maryland Avenue, North Tower, Rm 2100, Rockville, MD 20850).

Jury staff can provide accommodations such as interpreters for the deaf and CART (Computer Assisted Real-Time Transcription) services for those who do not use American Sign Language (ASL).

We advise the following for jurors using canes, crutches, or wheelchairs: the most easily accessed entrance from the Juror Parking Lot and the Overflow COB Garage is the optional Juror entrance located on the side of the Circuit Court, facing Route 28/East Jefferson Street. Using the Monroe Street entrance from the Juror lots is not advised due to the increasing slope of Monroe Street to the courthouse.

We also advise using the restrooms located just outside the Jury Lounge. In addition to being handicapped-accessible, the outside and inside walls are equipped with automatic door buttons.

For jurors with private medical concerns, the Court does have two Wellness Rooms (South Tower, Rms 1441 & 1442) that are available with door locks, chairs, and sinks. The Jury Office also has a large refrigerator in which to store items that need to be kept cold.

Finally, jurors with leg or back issues are welcome to bring pillows and/or foot stools for their comfort.

Jury Service

Please make sure to fill out your qualification form online at: www.courts.state.md.us/juryservice/jurorqualificationform .  

  If you are requesting to be excused those requests need to be submitted in writing to the Court and submitted within 10 days of receipt.

You have been randomly selected from either Voter Registration records or Motor Vehicle Administration records to serve as a juror in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County. The statute requires completion of a juror questionnaire.

Most of those selected will serve as Trial Jurors. The term of service for Trial Jurors is one week or one trial. That is, if a juror serves on a jury, no matter how short or long the trial, it will completely fulfill the juror's obligation for three years. If the juror reports to the courthouse and is not selected for a trial, that juror will be on call for one week.  If not selected for a trial during that week, this too will completely fulfill the juror's obligation for three years. Length of trials varies but is currently averaging two to three days.

Please answer all questions on the questionnaire - you have the option to do it on-line or by using the printed form. Sign and return the printed questionnaire or complete the on-line questionnaire within ten (10) days of the receipt of your questionnaire letter. If you are unable to fill out this form, someone else may do it for you provided that the person who does so also signs the form and the reason for answering by proxy is indicated. If you do not submit this form within ten (10) days, you will be summoned to this office at your expense to complete this form.

The Importance of Your Service: Trial by jury is the foundation of the American judicial system. In a civil case, it is the duty of a jury to decide issues of fact in disputes over matters such as property rights, contract rights and damages for personal injury. In a criminal case, it is the individuals who serve on juries that the parties rely upon for the protection of life, liberty and property.

The performance of jury service is the fulfillment of a civic obligation. Our system of justice will not work without your participation.

The most important function of a juror is to listen to all evidence presented at trial, and to decide the facts of the case. The Judge is there to determine the legal aspects of the case and to keep the trial moving forward.

[ RETURN TO TOP ]

The Jury Selection Process: The names of potential jurors are selected at random from driver and voter registration records. Anne Arundel County jurors must be at least 18 years of age, a citizen of the United States and a resident of Anne Arundel County. Jurors provide this and other information on a brief questionnaire which is used by the court to determine eligibility.

Your summons will indicate whether you have been called to serve on Grand Jury or Trial Jury duty.

Grand Jurors serve for a 6 month time period, reporting every other Friday. Grand Jury cases are criminal in nature, and require jurors to determine if there is enough evidence in order to issue an indictment. Names of candidates for Grand Jury service are drawn for a term beginning the first Wednesday in January and a second term beginning the first Wednesday of July. If the first Wednesday of January or July falls on a holiday, the term would begin the second Wednesday of the month. 

Jurors summonsed to serve on Trial Jury Duty in Anne Arundel County are on call for 1 Week or 1 Trial. That does not mean that a juror will be in court everyday. Instructions are provided on the summons which indicate that prospective jurors are to call the Jury office after 5:00 p.m. (410-222-1438) on the afternoon before the one week jury period begins. Each juror is assigned a call-in number. The recorded phone message will provide information as to which jurors are to report in on what day. Not every juror will report the first day of service.

The first morning of Jury Duty serves as a brief orientation. Jurors view a video and receive an overview of the process from Jury Office staff members. At this point, Jurors are asked to do one of the most difficult parts of Jury Duty - wait. Many court proceedings cannot be held without jurors, which is why a pool of potential jurors must be assembled and ready before the court starts its day. However, once assembled a variety of things can occur which can mean delays, (i.e. settlement efforts between parties). Please feel free to bring a book, magazine, etc. if you are so inclined.

Once called to a courtroom, all jurors will take an oath to answer all questions truthful, and the Judge will explain the case. At this point, jurors will be questioned by the Judge and the attorneys during the voir dire process. The purpose of voir dire is for the judge and attorneys to make sure you have no prior knowledge of the case, and that you have no personal interest or feelings that could impact your ability to be impartial. These questions are not intended to embarrass jurors - but are essential when selecting an impartial jury which will be best suited to rendering an unbiased decision.

Some jurors may never be called for a case. This is especially true should all cases scheduled for a given day end in settlement. Taking a matter to court is a measure of last resort, and the court encourages parties to settle their own differences. Should all cases for a given day settle, jurors will be excused.

Selection in Civil vs. Criminal Cases: The process for selecting jurors differs slightly depending upon whether the case is civil or criminal. In a civil case, usually the attorneys will merely strike a certain number of names from the list of jurors and the remaining six will enter the jury box as the jury. In a criminal case, the State and the defendant each have a certain number of what are called peremptory challenges where a juror is excused and no reason need be stated. The jurors may be asked to stand or step forward to be identified before they are accepted or challenged. Such challenges are exercised according to the judgment of the parties.

A juror should always remember that the process of selecting a jury panel in a criminal or civil case involves legal strategy on the part of the attorneys. One should never feel there is any implication of unfitness or discourtesy directed toward a juror if stricken, challenged or excused.

In both criminal and civil cases, the judge will designate a foreperson of the jury.

If the case is expected to be a lengthy one, one or more alternate jurors may sit with the jury during the trial. An alternate may become a jury member if one of the regular jurors is taken sick or is otherwise unable to continue as a juror during the trial of a case.

Deliberation: Once the judge has given the instructions and closing arguments have been made, the jury will retire to the jury room. The foreperson will preside over the deliberations and present the verdict to the Court. In reaching the verdict, jurors must make sure they listen to one another with an open mind. All jurors should have the opportunity to express their opinions and ideas on the case.

If there is any doubt about what the judge said in the charge, or any matter of law, the foreperson may send the questions in note form to the judge.

1. Authorization for Payroll Deductions  

21. a. The Union shall submit any request to initiate, change, or cancel deductions of Contributions from represented employees’ pay according to the Controller’s “Union Deductions Procedure” (“Procedure”), which the Controller may amend from time to time with reasonable notice to the Union. “Contributions” as used in this Section I.D. means Union membership dues, initiation fees, political action funds, other contributions, and any special membership assessments, as established and as may be changed from time to time by the Union.  

22. b. The City shall deduct Contributions from a represented employee’s pay upon submission by the Union of a request, in accordance with the Procedure. The Procedure shall include, and the Union must provide with each request, a certification by an authorized representative of the Union, confirming that for each employee for whom the Union has requested deduction of Contributions, the Union has and will maintain a voluntary written authorization signed by that employee authorizing the deduction. If the certification is not properly completed or submitted with the request, the City shall notify the Union, and make the requested deduction changes only upon receipt of a proper certification.   

23. c. The Procedure is the exclusive method for the Union to request the City to initiate, change, or cancel deductions for Contributions.    

24. d. The City shall implement new, changed, or cancelled deductions the pay period following the receipt of a request from the Union, but only if the Union submits the request by noon on the last Friday of a pay period. If the Controller’s Office receives the request after that time, the City will implement the changes in two following pay periods.  

25. e. If an employee asks the City to deduct Contributions, the City shall direct the employee to the Union to obtain the Union authorization form. The City will not maintain a City authorization form for such deductions. If a represented employee hand delivers the official Union form authorizing such deductions to the Controller’s Payroll Division, the City shall process the authorization and begin the deduction within thirty (30) days. The City will send the Union a copy of any authorization form that it receives directly from a represented employee.    

26. f. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 1, each pay period, the City shall remit Contributions to the Union, after deducting the fee under San Francisco Administrative Code Section 16.92.  In addition, the City will make available to the Union a database that includes the following information for each represented employee: name; DSW number; classification; department; work location; work, home, and personal cellular telephone number; personal email address if on file with the City; home address; and any Contributions amount deducted.   

27. g. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 1, the City shall continue to deduct and remit Contributions until it receives notice to change or cancel deductions from the Union in accordance with the Procedure, or it receives an order from a court or administrative body directing the City to change or cancel the deductions for one or more employees.    

28. h. With the exception of subsection (e) above, the Union is responsible for all decisions to initiate, change, and cancel deductions, and for all matters regarding an employee’s revocation of an authorization, and the City shall rely solely on information provided by the Union on such matters. The City shall direct all employee requests to change or cancel deductions, or to revoke an authorization for deductions, to the Union. The City shall not resolve disputes between the Union and represented employees about Union membership, the amount of Contributions, deductions, or revoking authorizations for deductions. The City shall not provide advice to employees about those matters, and shall direct employees with questions or concerns about those matters to the Union. The Union shall respond to such employee inquiries within no less than 10 business days.  

2. Indemnification  

29. The Union shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City against any claim, including but not limited to any civil or administrative action, and any expense and liability of any kind, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’sfees, legal costs, settlements, or judgments, arising from or related to the City’s compliance with this Section I.D. The Union shall be responsible for the defense of any claim within this indemnification provision, subject to the following: (i) the City shall promptly give written notice of any claim to the Union; (ii) the City shall provide any assistance that the Union may reasonably request for the defense of the claim; and (iii) the Union has the right to control the defense or settlement of the claim; provided, however, that the City shall have the right to participate in, but not control, any litigation for which indemnification is sought with counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense; and provided further that the Union may not settle or otherwise resolve any claim or action in a way that obligates the City in any manner, including but not limited to paying any amounts in settlement, taking or omitting to take any actions, agreeing to any policy change on the part of the City, or agreeing to any injunctive relief or consent decree being entered against the City, without the consent of the City. This duty to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend shall not apply to actions related to compliance with this Section I.E. brought by the Union against the City. This subsection 2 shall not apply to any claim against the City where the City failed to process a timely, properly completed request to change or cancel a Contributions deduction, as provided in subsection 1.

30. MAA may select official representatives for purposes of meeting and conferring, and consulting with the City on matters within the scope of representation. Such representatives shall have the privileges and duties set forth in the Employee Relations Ordinance (Administrative Code -§16.219). For purposes of this section, the number of represented attorneys permitted paid work release under §16.219 shall be at least one person from each of the three major departments covered by this MOU (Offices of the District Attorney, Public Defender and City Attorney) and two other bargaining unit employees.   

31. Official representatives shall have reasonable access to all work locations to verify that the terms and conditions of this agreement are being carried out and for the purpose of conferring with represented attorneys provided that such access shall be subject to such rules and regulations as may be agreed upon by the department and MAA.   

32. In scheduling meetings, due consideration shall be given to the operating needs and work schedules of the department, division, or section in which the represented attorneys are employed and to the work schedule, including scheduled court appearances, of such represented attorneys.

33. The City departments covered by this agreement agree to post through their e-mail systems Association notices of Association meetings and professional activities. The Association shall submit its proposed notice to the designated department representatives by e-mail twenty-four  (24)hours in advance or by other written means forty-eight (48) hours in advance. Any such notice through the e-mail system shall be accompanied by a statement that the information conveyed thereby is being provided by the Association and that only the transmission is authorized by the department. Except as set forth above, City email shall not be used to conduct Association business.

34. The following procedures are adopted by the parties to provide for the orderly and efficient disposition of grievances and are the sole and exclusive internal procedures for resolving grievances as defined herein.   

35. A grievance shall be defined as any dispute which involves the interpretation or application of this agreement or relating to working conditions arising out of this agreement. A grievance may be filed by a represented attorney, a group of represented attorneys, or MAA.   

36. All grievances shall include the following:   

a. The specific reason or reasons for the grievance, including the date of the incident giving rise to the grievance, an explanation of the harm that occurred, and the name, classification, and department of the affected employee or employees;  

b. The section(s) of the Agreement which the Union believes has been violated; and   

c. The remedy or solution being sought by the Grievant.     

37. The City will return any grievance that does not include the information specified above. Within fifteen (15) days of the Union receiving a referenced grievance, the Union may   resubmit a new grievance with the corrected information, with all dates and other provisions triggered off the new submission date.   

38. Time Limits. The time limits set forth herein may be extended by agreement of the parties.  Any such extension must be confirmed in writing. For purposes of calculation of time a "day" is defined as a "calendar day," including weekends and holidays. Failure by the represented attorney or MAA to follow the time limits, unless mutually extended, shall cause the grievance to be withdrawn. Failure of the City to follow the time limits, unless mutually extended, shall serve to move the grievance to the next step. Any time limit set forth in this section that expires on a weekend or a holiday shall expire instead on the following business day.   

Steps of the Procedure   

39. 1. Except as set forth below, all grievances must be initiated at Step 1 of the grievance procedure.   

40. A grievance affecting more than one represented attorney shall be filed with the Appointing Officer. Grievances affecting more than one department shall be filed with the Employee Relations Division. MAA may request the Appointing Officer to file other grievances initially at Step 2 (with the Appointing Officer or the Appointing Officer’s designee), and such requests shall not be unreasonably denied.  

41. In the event the City disagrees with the level at which the grievance is filed, it may submit the matter to the step it believes is appropriate for consideration of the dispute.   

42. 2. A represented attorney having a grievance may first discuss it with the represented attorney's immediate supervisor and try to work out a satisfactory solution in an informal manner with the supervisor. The represented attorney may have a representative at this discussion.   

43. 3. Step 1. If a solution to the grievance, satisfactory to the represented attorney and the immediate supervisor is not accomplished by informal discussion, the grievant may pursue the grievance further.   

44. The represented attorney and/or the attorney’s representative shall submit a written statement of the grievance to the immediate supervisor within thirty (30) days of the facts or event giving rise to the grievance or the date the represented attorney or MAA should have known of the occurrence thereof except for cases alleging sexual harassment, in which case the time limit herein shall be four (4) months.   

45. The immediate supervisor will make every effort to arrive at a prompt resolution by investigating the issue. The immediate supervisor shall respond within seven (7) calendar days.   

46. 4. Step 2. If the grievance is not satisfactorily resolved at Step 1, the grievance shall be submitted in writing, containing a specific description of the basis for the claim and the resolution desired, and submitted to the department head or the department head’s designee within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the Step 1 response. The   parties may meet. In any event, the department head/designee shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the written grievance, respond, in writing, to the grievant and MAA, specifying the department head/designee’s reason(s) for concurring with or denying the grievance. The Step 2 grievance shall contain a specific description of the basis for the grievance, the resolution desired, and specific reason or reasons for rejecting the lower step response and advancing the grievance to the next step.   

47. 5. Step 3. If the decision of the department head/designee is unsatisfactory, the grievant and/or MAA representative may, within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of such decision, submit the grievance in writing to the Employee Relations Director. The Step 3 grievance shall contain a specific description of the basis for the grievance, the resolution desired, and specific reason or reasons for rejecting the lower step response and advancing the grievance to the next step. The Step 3 grievance shall contain copies of all earlier correspondence (i.e. earlier grievance submissions and responses), materials, and evidence submitted at the earlier Steps of the Grievance Procedure, and any additional evidence to support the submission at Step 3.   

48. The Director shall have fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the written grievance in which to review and seek resolution of the grievance and respond in writing.    

49. 6. Step 4. Should there be no satisfactory resolution at Step 3, MAA has the right to submit the grievance to final and binding arbitration, by notifying the Director of Employee Relations, in writing, within twenty (20) calendar days of receipt of the Step 3 response by submitting a request for arbitration to the ERD Director. The ERD Director shall issue a letter referring the Union to the City Attorney’s Office. The Union shall contact the City Attorney’s Office by letter, copied to the Employee Relations Director, via US mail, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the ERD Director’s letter referring the Union to the City Attorney’s Office. If the Union fails tocontact the CityAttorney’s Officewithin thirty(30)calendar days of that letter, the grievance is deemed withdrawn.  

Selection of the Arbitrator  

50. When a matter is appealed to arbitration, the parties shall first attempt to mutually agree upon an Arbitrator to hear the matter.

The parties, by lot, shall alternately strike names from the list, and the name that remains shall be the arbitrator designated to hear the particular matter. If a party refuses to respond within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days) after receiving a written request by any other party to participate in striking names from the list as provided herein, then the remaining party of parties may pursue all appropriate remedies to obtain selection of the Arbitrator.

The City reserves the right to take any action necessary to comply therewith.

65. The unique role and obligations of attorneys covered by this agreement includes the maintenance of appropriate confidential relationships and communications. Recognizing these elements, the City shall not access the private work areas of attorneys absent (a) reasonable cause, as defined by relevant case law, suggesting misconduct or unlawful activity, or (b) a legitimate business need.

73. The City agrees that when removing or releasing a represented attorney from employment, the Appointing Officer will endeavor to inform the attorney at least thirty (30) calendar days before the attorney’s final day of work. Where the Appointing Officer fails or declines to inform the attorney a full thirty (30) calendar days in advance, the attorney shall receive pay in lieu of the number of days less than thirty (30) upon which the attorney was informed.   

74. Due to the unique job responsibilities of the attorneys and the attorneys’ status in the City as exempt from civil service selection, appointment and removal procedures (as provided by the Charter), the City and MAA agree to the following: In addition to the notice or pay in lieu thereof provided above, a represented attorney in an attorney job code who is removed or released from City service by the Appointing Officer shall receive the following severance benefit in exchange for a general release, in a form acceptable to the City, signed by the represented attorney and MAA, of any and all claims that the attorney may have against the City (including any officer or employee thereof).   

75. This release shall include a waiver of any rights the employee may have to return to City employment, a waiver of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and a waiver of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The release shall exclude the right to grieve the proper amount of notice or severance pay due under this Section II.I.

77. The decision to accept severance pay in exchange for a general release is entirely voluntary. Employees are free to reject severance pay (and not provide a release) in order to pursue other lawful remedies.   

78. Severance benefits are as follows:    

1-4 years completed: 4 weeks’ pay severance  5 years completed: 5 weeks’ pay severance  6 years completed: 6 weeks’ pay severance  7 years completed: 7 weeks’ pay severance  8 years completed: 8 weeks’ pay severance  9 years completed: 9 weeks’ pay severance  10 years completed: 10 weeks’ pay severance  11 years completed: 11 weeks’ pay severance  12 years completed: 12 weeks’ pay severance  13 years completed: 13 weeks’ pay severance   14 years completed: 14 weeks’ pay severance  15 years completed: 15 weeks’ pay severance  16 years completed: 16 weeks’ pay severance  17 years completed: 17 weeks’ pay severance  18 years completed: 18 weeks’ pay severance  19 years completed: 19 weeks’ pay severance  

79. For attorneys with twenty or more years of City service, the severance benefit shall increase  to two weeks’ payfor each year of City service over ten years.    

Example of calculation:  A represented attorney has 24 years of service at the time of separation.  1 to 10 years=10 weeks  10 to 24 years= 28 weeks  Total Severance= 38 weeks  

80. For the purposes of this provision, service means paid service with a break of no more than three years in employment.  

Example: An attorney has 16 years of service and leaves City employment for 4 years. When the attorney returns, the attorney begins to accrue severance at year one level.  

If a represented employee is separated and receives a severance payment and subsequently returns to service, the employee’s service prior to the first separation shall not be used to calculate any subsequent severance payments.  

81. The City shall supply a draft of the release described in paragraph 74 within twenty (20) days ofan attorney’s separation from Cityservice. Severance payments shall be made within thirty  (30)days of the City receiving a fully executed release pursuant to this MOU.

83. Head Attorney [8182]. Any represented attorney in job code 8182 for two or more years in that job code who is reappointed by the Appointing Officer to a lower job code shall retain their 8182 salary. If the attorney does not accept the new job code, the attorney may treat the proposal as a release from service and receive severance pay.   

84. If a represented attorney began employment in job code 8182 and was subsequently promoted to job code 8181, 8183 or 8193, any time served in codes 8181, 8183 or 8193 shall be included in calculating the two years required in job code 8182 as referenced in paragraph 83 above.   

85. Represented attorneys in job code 8182 may be reappointed to job code 8177. In such event, salary step placement shall be to the step in class 8177 closest to but not higher than the prior salary step placement in job code 8182. If the Appointing Officer reappoints an attorney currently in job code 8182 who has less than two years in that job code to the job code 8177,   the attorney may either accept the reappointment or treat the proposal as a release from service and receive severance pay.   

86. The City is not required to pay severance if it terminates the represented attorney under the following procedure:   

87. The represented attorney may be removed or discharged at a hearing by the appointing officer for gross misconduct by clear and convincing evidence on that allegation after being provided with written notice of the charges, copies of all documentation upon which the charges are based and after an opportunity to respond to the charges before the appointing officer or the designee.   

88. Pending investigation of gross misconduct, the appointing officer may place the accused person on paid administrative leave. If, after 60 days of paid administrative leave, the investigation is found to have been delayed by an act of the accused (as determined by the arbitrator), the accused may be placed on unpaid administrative leave until the conclusion of the hearing before the appointing officer otherwise the accused shall be continued on paid administrative leave until the conclusion of the hearing.   

89. When the appointing officer imposes discharge or removal the appointing officer shall, in writing, notify the person removed or discharged of the right to appeal the discharge or removal by mailing such statement to the employee’s last known address.  

90. The employee shall have thirty days from the date of the mailing of the notice to file an appeal of the matter in writing with the appointing officer. Upon receipt of a timely appeal, the appeal shall be referred to a standing panel of arbitrators who will agree to hear and resolve such disputes within 60 days after submitting the matter to arbitration. If the parties cannot agree upon a standing panel, either side may request a list of 7 qualified arbitrators who are members of the National Academy of Arbitrators and who agree to the 60 day time limitation from the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service. If the parties are unable to agree mutually on the arbitrator, the parties shall alternately strike names until one remains on the list. The parties shall establish the order of first strike by lot.   

91. If the employee is exonerated, the hearing officer shall order payment of salary to the employee for the period of unpaid administrative leave, reinstate the employee's rights under the severance provisions of the MOU, and the report of such period of discharge or removal for gross misconduct or unpaid administrative leave shall thereupon be expunged from the record of service of such employee.

137. If the provisions of this section deprive a represented attorney of the same number of holidays that a represented attorney receives who works Monday through Friday, the represented attorney shall be granted additional days off to equal such number of holidays. The designation of such days off shall be by mutual agreement of the represented attorney and the appropriate employer representative.

144. Payment of Vested Sick Leave Accrual. For a represented attorney who is otherwise entitled to vested sick leave, payment of such a represented attorney’s vested but unused sick leave shall be provided to the represented attorney at the same time as the represented attorney’s final pay check.

145. Represented attorneys of the City and County of San Francisco may individually transfer their vested vacation allowance credits and sick leave credits to other represented attorneys of the City and County of San Francisco who have been determined to be catastrophically ill by their Department Head, in accord with the definition of catastrophic illness to be provided by the Health Commission, and who have exhausted their vacation allowance, sick leave and compensatory time off, provided that such transfer may be made only in compliance with the terms and conditions adopted by ordinance of the Board of Supervisors.

146. Attorneys are required to work the days and hours necessary to perform the job duties of their positions and shall schedule their time accordingly.

152.

154. The maximum number of vacation hours a represented attorney may accrue is as follows:

For employees with one dependent who elect to enroll in any health plan offered through the Health Services System, the City shall contribute ninety-three percent (93%) of the total health insurance premium, provided however, that the City’s contribution shall be capped at ninety-three percent (93%) of the Employee Plus One premium of the second-highest-cost plan.

4) Contribution Cap  

164. In the event HSS eliminates access to the current highest cost plan for active employees, the City contribution under this agreement for the remaining two plans shall not be affected.

165. For purposes of this agreement, and any resulting agreements under paragraph 166 to ensure that all employees enrolled in health insurance through the City’sHealthServices System(HSS) are making premium contributions under the Percentage-Based Contribution Model, and therefore have a stake in controlling the long term growth in health insurance costs, it is agreed that, to the extent the City's health insurance premium contribution under the Percentage-Based ContributionModel islessthanthe“averagecontribution,”as established under Charter section A8.428(b), then, in addition to the City’s contribution, payments toward the balance of the health insurance premium under the Percentage-Based Contribution Model shall be deemed to apply to the annual “average contribution.” The parties intend that the City’s contribution toward employee health insurance premiums will not exceed the amount established under the Percentage-Based Contribution Model.

166. The terms described in paragraphs 159 through 164 above will be effective in calendar year 2015, and the parties agree not to seek to modify this agreement through the term of any MOU entered into prior to, or in the spring of, 2014.  

c. Other Terms Negotiable  

167. While the parties have agreed in paragraph 165 not to negotiate any changes to the Percentage-Based Contribution Model, the parties are free to make economic proposals to address any alleged impact of the health contribution levels described above or other health related issues not involving the percentage-based contribution model (e.g. wellness and transparency).

d. Other Agreements  

168.  Should the City and any recognized bargaining unit reach a voluntarily bargained agreement that results in City contributions to health insurance premiums exceeding those provided by the Percentage-Based Contribution Model, the City agrees to offer the entire alternate model to the Union as a substitute.

The City agrees to make available to MAA those benefits available to MEA members as part of the MEA’s Management Cafeteria Plan, if feasible and permissible; provided, however, that MAA understands that the benefits made available will not be a part of a cafeteria plan; participation must be cost neutral; and the benefits must be actually available outside a cafeteria plan. If necessary, the parties will meet mid-contract to discuss any issues concerning availability of benefits.

178. The City shall provide a DCAP program to MAA members. MAA and the City shall negotiate any beneficial changes to the program or any changes that may be necessary due to tax rule changes.

These payments will be made at the end of each quarter.   

180.  In order to be eligible for the full amount, the represented attorney must be on the payroll during the quarter in which the payment is made.   

181.  This allowance is intended to cover all professional, job-related, expenditures, including but not limited to:   a.  Professional coursework where MCLE credits are obtained;   b.  Professional codes, legal compilations and treatises;   c.  Calendars and other professional items used in the course of work; and   d.  Membership fees or dues for attorney professional organizations of the member’s choosing.

183.  The City may require attorneys to show proof of State Bar licensing and MCLE requirements.

187.  Employees assigned to jury duty whose regular work assignments are swing, graveyard, or weekend shifts shall not be required to work those shifts when serving jury duty, provided the employee gives prior notice of the jury duty to the supervisor. An employee will not be scheduled for standby or on-call duty during a week when they are serving on jury duty.   

188.  To receive leave with pay for jury duty, employees must (1) provide written proof of jury service from the court to verify actual appearance for each day of jury duty, and (2) decline any payment from the court for jury duty.

191.  The parties agree that members of MAA shall be subject to the provisions and benefits of a Citywide Wellness Program, if any, agreed to by the City and the Public Employees Committee.

192. The City will make a good faith effort to return represented attorneys who have sustained an injury or illness to temporary modified duty within the represented attorney's medical restrictions. Duties of the modified assignment may differ from the represented attorney's regular job duties and/or job duties regularly assigned to represented attorneys in the injured represented attorney's job code.  Decisions regarding temporary modified duty shall be subject to approval of the Appointing Officer or designee. The decision to provide modified duty and/or the impact of such decisions shall not be subject to grievance or arbitration. Modified duty assignments may not exceed three (3) months. A represented attorney assigned to modified duty assignment shall receive their regular rate of pay. The parties acknowledge that Section  II.E. shall govern requests under this MOU for reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

193. A represented attorney who is absent because of disability and who is receiving Temporary Disability, Vocational Rehabilitation Maintenance Allowance, or State Disability Insurance, may request that the amount of disability indemnity payment be supplemented with salary to be charged against the represented attorney's accumulated unused sick leave with pay credit balance at the time of disability, administrative time off, or vacation, so as to equal the normal salary the represented attorney would have earned for the regular work schedule. Such use of administrative time requires the represented attorney's Appointing Officer’s approval.   

194. A represented attorney who wishes to supplement with administrative time, vacation or sick pay credits must submit a written request to the Appointing Officer or designee within fourteen (14) calendar days following the election of disability.   

195. Represented attorney supplementation of workers’ compensation payment to equal the full salary the represented attorney would have earned for the regular work schedule in effect at the commencement of the workers’ compensation leave shall be drawn onlyfrom the represented attorney's paid leave credits including vacation, sick leave balance, or other paid leave as available. A represented attorney returning from disability leave will accrue sick leave at the regular rate and not an accelerated rate.   

196. Salary may be paid on regular time-rolls and charged against the represented attorney's sick leave with pay during any period prior to the determination of eligibility for disability indemnity payment without requiring a signed option by the represented attorney.   

197. Sick leave with pay, vacation, or administrative time credits shall be used to supplement disability indemnity pay at the minimum rate of one (1) hour units.

199. a. The Citywide “Paperless Pay” Policy applies to all City employees covered under this Agreement.   

200. b. Under the policy, all employees shall be able to access their pay advices electronically on a password protected site, and print them in a confidential manner.

The City shall maintain electronic pay advices and/or wage statements for at least seven (7) years.   

202. d. Under the policy, all employees have two options for receiving pay: direct deposit or bank pay card. Employees not signing up for either option will be defaulted into bank pay cards.   

203.  Bank pay cards will not have fees payable by employees.   

204. e. Every employee shall possess the right to do the following with any frequency and without incurring any cost to the employee:   1.  Change the account into which the direct deposit is made;   2.  Switch from the direct deposit option to the pay card option, or vice versa;   3.  Obtain a new pay card the first time the employee’s pay card is lost, stolen or misplaced;     

205. f. The City assures that the pay card shall be FDIC insured. The City further assures that in the event of an alleged overpayment by the City to the employee, the City shall not unilaterally reverse a payment to the direct deposit account or pay card.

211. B. If MAA does not respond within ten (10) working days from the date of receipt if hand-delivered or faxed, or in the event of mailing within fifteen (15) working days from the date of the mailing or written notification of a proposed change as described in paragraph A hereof, MAA shall be deemed to have waived its opportunity to meet and confer on the proposed change(s).   

212. C. If MAA timely requests the opportunity to meet and confer as provided herein, the City agrees to meet and confer with MAA over such proposed change(s) within ten (10) days of receipt of such time request, unless a longer period of time is mutually agreed upon, in order to freely exchange information, opinions and proposals and to endeavor to reach agreement on the proposed change(s).   

213. D. This memorandum sets forth the full and entire understanding of the parties regarding the matters set forth herein. This memorandum may be modified, but only in writing, upon the mutual consent of the parties and ratification by the Board of Supervisors.

The Parties will bargain for a period of thirty (30) days and then will proceed to applicable impasse procedures pursuant to PERB’s order before Paul Roose within ninety (90) days of the PERB Decision. Nothing in this provision will preclude either party from pursuing a judicial appeal of PERB’s decision or a court order to stay or void any arbitration award under the Charter impasse resolution process.

Appendix A: Union Access to New Employees Program

The purpose of this agreement is to memorialize the rights and obligations of the City and the Union in accordance with CA Government Code Sections 3555-3559, through the creation of a single, City.wide Union Access to New Employees Program applicable to all City Agencies and all City Employee Unions.

A. The City shall provide the Union written notice of, and access to, new employee orientations (hereinafter NEOs) as set forth below. It is the City’s policy that NEOs are mandatory for all newly-hired employees. It is the City’s intent that NEOs take place as promptly as possible after the first day of employment. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the start of employment, newly-hired employees will be scheduled to attend the next available NEO. NEOs shall be scheduled during an employee’s regularly scheduled, paid time. In the event that a newly-hired employee’s regular schedule is outside of a scheduled NEO, the Department may make a one-time adjustment to the employee’s work schedule in order to accommodate this requirement.  

In the event an employee does not attend the NEO that the employee was scheduled to attend, said employee will be automatically enrolled to attend the next available NEO. If the employee does not attend the subsequently scheduled NEO, the Union NEO Coordinator may contact the Departmental NEO coordinator to arrange a meeting with the employee pursuant to Section F., below.   

B. Application: New employees include, but are not limited to, newly-hired employees whose positions are permanent, temporary, full-time, part-time, per diem, seasonal, provisional, or as-needed.  

C. Notice  

1.  Single Point of Contact: The Union agrees to provide the City with a single point of contact (hereinafter, Union NEO Coordinator) and the City agrees to provide the Union with a single point of contact for each Department (hereinafter, Departmental NEO Coordinator), which will be updated by the City and the Union on an as-needed basis.   

2.  Notice of Schedule: For any NEO that takes place on a regular, recurring schedule, the sponsoring Department shall be responsible for providing annual notice to the Union. For NEOs that are not offered on a regular, recurring schedule, the sponsoring Department shall provide no less than ten (10) business days’ notice. Said notices shall be provided by email, to the Union NEO Coordinator. This requirement shall apply to all NEOs in which City personnel provide newly-hired employees with information   regarding employment status, rights, benefits, duties, responsibilities, or any other employment-related matters.   

3.  Notice of Enrollment: Notice shall include a list of new employees represented by the Union scheduled to attend the NEO. If practical, the City agrees to provide additional identifying information including, but not limited to, classification and department. Six months from enactment, in the event the City is unable to provide classification and department information in the Notice of Enrollment, the Union can reopen this Agreement for the sole purpose of meeting and conferring over the identifying information provided in this Section II.C.3 Notice of Enrollment. Said meeting and conferring shall not be subject to the impasse procedures in Government Code Section 3557. The Department sponsoring the NEO shall provide the foregoing information no less than five (5) business days prior to the NEO taking place.

Coordinates of Elektrostal in decimal degrees

Coordinates of elektrostal in degrees and decimal minutes, utm coordinates of elektrostal, geographic coordinate systems.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
