Jury Service
Voting and serving on a jury are two ways in which many Americans participate directly in their democracy. You may be called for jury service in New York State once you turn 18 years old.
The New York court system has produced a wide range of information for potential jurors about jury service.
Democracy in Action is a booklet that explains the basics about the history of the jury and how the system works today. It contains a quiz (Do You Know Your Jury?) and a Criss Cross puzzle.
The American Jury: Bulwark of Democracy is an on-line resource guide for students, teachers and citizens, explaining the American jury system and its role in American legal, social, and political life.
Juror Orientation Video: See the video that is shown in every New York courthouse to orient jurors when they begin jury duty.
Grand Juror Video: See the video that is shown to everyone called for grand jury service in New York.
