Ky. Sup. Ct. Order 2020-73 § 7
Juror Qualification Forms
(1) A juror qualification form will be mailed with the summons to each juror
accompanied by instructions to fill out and return the form by mail or
hand delivery to the clerk within five days after its receipt, or to be
completed as otherwise directed. The juror qualification form shall be
provided by the Administrative Office of the Courts and subject to
approval by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
(2) The juror qualification form shall contain the prospective juror’s signed
declaration that the responses are true to the best of his or her
knowledge and his or her acknowledgment that a willful
misrepresentation of a material fact may be punished by a fine or by
imprisonment, or both. Notarization of the juror qualification form shall
not be required.
(3) If the prospective juror is unable to fill out the form, another person may
do it for the prospective juror and shall indicate that he or she has done
so and the reason therefor.
(4) Any prospective juror who fails to return a properly completed juror
qualification form as instructed may be directed by the chief circuit judge
to appear forthwith to fill out a juror qualification form. A prospective
juror who fails to appear as directed by the judge pursuant to this
subsection shall be ordered to appear and show cause for failure to
appear as directed. If the prospective juror fails to appear pursuant to
the judge’s order or fails to show good cause for failure to appear as
directed by the judge, the prospective juror may be punished for
contempt.
(5) On the first day that prospective jurors appear in response to the
summons, any prospective juror may be questioned by the judge or
designee, but only with regard to responses to questions contained on
the form and grounds for his or her excuse or disqualification. Any
information thus acquired shall be noted on the juror qualification form.
(6) No person shall willfully misrepresent a material fact on a juror
qualification form.
(7) The contents of juror qualification forms shall be made available to the
trial judge and to parties or their attorneys of record unless the chief
circuit judge or designee determines in any instance in the interest of
justice that the information shall be kept confidential or its use limited in
whole or in part
