Ky. Sup. Ct. Order 2020-73 § 6

Juror Summons

activein force · 2020-12-07 – presentact-effective-date

(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.
