ALT Juries form the bedrock of the American system of justice. That foundation erodes when citizens fail to participate. To reinforce the importance of responding appropriately to a summons for jury service, the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County will hold a series of hearings on Oct. 20 to seek answers from community members who have ignored or failed to respond to their summons for jury service. These “order to show cause” hearings will ask as many as 20 citizens why they have failed to report. Read more on our website at superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/communications-office
