We recently went on-line with our jury summons procedures to make it easier to respond to the summons. The last piece of research we are currently doing is studying and analyzing the counties that have the highest and lowest percentage of filling out our summons on-line through our software called e-juror.

Our jurors are paid by a paper check. The research that is on-going is to see ways we can financially compensate our jurors by EBT or a debit card. The court just recently concluded research just on postage alone that results in mailing out checks. It would save the court approximately $100,000 if we deposited the juror’s pay electronically. The area that is still...
