Juror Questionnaire FAQs

Q:   I received a questionnaire for my spouse or relative who is deceased. What should I do?

The questionnaire must still be returned with "DECEASED" written next to the person's name. Once we receive this information, we will update our records.

Q:   I received a questionnaire in the mail but I no longer live in Waukesha County. What should I do with the questionnaire?

Wisconsin law requires that the questionnaire still must be completed. Please answer the first eight questions, updating your address and checking the box you are not a resident. Once your questionnaire is received, you will be removed from our lists.

Q:   I have been convicted of a crime. Can I still serve on jury duty?

If you have been convicted of a felony, but have completed your sentence and had all of your civil rights restored, you are eligible to serve as a juror.  If your sentence is not complete and you have not had your civil rights restored, you are not eligible to serve as a juror.

Q:   My son/daughter is away at college and has received a questionnaire to fill out. Can a parent fill this out for the student?

Yes - A parent can fill out the questionnaire for their college student. The parent or steudent will then need to request a postponement to when the student is home from school.

Q:   What if I have a medical condition that would prevent me from serving jury duty?

You must submit a medical excusal indicating what condition you suffer from and what the prognosis is for recovery. This information will be reviewed by a Judge and you will either be excused or deferred to a more convenient time. If you are unable to obtain a medical excuse within 10 days of receiving your questionnaire, please return the questionnaire with a note that a medical excuse will follow. Please send the medical excuse as soon as possible after you receive it.
