If you received the Juror Qualification Questionnaire in the mail, it is a questionnaire, not a summons for jury service. Your name has been drawn from a combined list of drivers/voters/identification card and Illinois disabled person ID cardholders of Will County.  You are being considered for jury service in the Will County Circuit Court.  This is a way of obtaining (for office/courthouse use only) some information about you from which we can objectively determine whether you are qualified to serve as a juror pursuant to state law.  If we find you qualified, you MAY be summoned at a later date.  Jurors will receive mileage and a per diem for each day of service.

If you are unable to fill out this form, someone else may do it for you provided that person indicates in remarks why it was necessary for him or her to do so instead of you. Do NOT attach anything to this form. Please write your comments in the "Remarks" section or enclose a separate unattached document. Do not ask to be excused by telephone.

If you do not return this questionnaire form fully completed within ten (10) days, you are liable to be summoned to report at your expense for completion of the questionnaire at this office.
