28. U.S.C. § 1861 affords litigants the right to juries selected at random from a fair cross-section of the community.

Biennially, master jury wheels are created by randomly selecting names from lists of registered voters, licensed drivers, and state ID holders. Periodically, names are randomly drawn from each division’s master jury wheel to complete a questionnaire so the court can determine recipients’ eligibility for federal jury service. Qualified persons could then be randomly selected to receive a summons for jury duty.

Pursuant to law, persons who do not respond or appear as directed are subject to the following penalties unless good cause for the failure to respond/appear is shown: a fine < $1000, imprisonment < 3 days, community service, or a combination thereof.
