Ky. Sup. Ct. Order 2020-73 § 6
Juror Summons
(1) The chief circuit judge or designee shall cause each person drawn for
jury service to be served with a summons requiring that person to report
for jury service at a specified time and place, unless otherwise notified by
the court, and to be available for jury service for 30 judicial days
thereafter. The service of summons shall be accomplished utilizing
centralized mailing through the Administrative Office of the Courts. The
summons will be addressed to the juror at his or her usual residence,
business, or post office address. In the event service cannot be
accomplished via first class mail through centralized mailing, the court
may cause service to be made personally by the sheriff. In either case,
notice shall be mailed or served to the prospective juror at least 30 days
before required to report for service.
(2) The juror qualification form required by Section 7 of these Rules and any
additional county inserts submitted to and approved by the
Administrative Office of the Courts shall be enclosed with the summons.
(3) In order to control mailing costs, county inserts shall be in a format
prescribed by the Administrative Office of the Courts as follows:
(a) An insert shall not exceed four pages of text total (two pages front and
back). Two separate pages will be printed on a single page front and
back.
(b) Pages must be 8 1/2” by 11” in size.
(c) Conversion to PDF or PDF/A format is required before submitting to
the Administrative Office of the Courts.
(d) The name of the county shall be clearly identified at the top of the
insert. If the insert bears a seal, it shall be the current Kentucky
Court of Justice seal.
(e) Language, structure, and design shall be clear so that the intended
audience can easily understand and use the information provided.
(4) If a county insert does not meet the requirements as outlined in
subsection (3) of this section, the Administrative Office of the Courts will
notify the chief circuit judge or designee via email of the need for
modification(s).
(5) The Administrative Office of the Courts will store county inserts
electronically in the Jury Management Program; therefore, each county
must ensure that its inserts are current and up to date.
(6) Any prospective juror who does not return the juror qualification form
within 10 days or such other time as may be specified in the summons
may, at the discretion of the chief circuit judge or designee, be personally
served the summons by the sheriff.
