Jury Service in New York City Source: An official of the County Clerk's office The new act provides a uniform jury law for the five counties embraced in the City of New York. Section 596 lists the qualifications of jurors, as follows: In order to be qualified to serve as a juror in the counties included with a city having a population of one million or more, a person must: 1. Be a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the county. 2. Be not less than 21, nor more than 70 years of age. 3. Be the owner, in his or her own right, of real or personal property of the value of $250; or the husband of a woman or wife of a man who is the owner, in his or her own right, of real or personal property of that value. 4. Be in the possession of his natural faculties and not infirm or decrepit. 5. Not have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. 6. Be intelligent; of sound mind and good character; well informed; able to read and write the English language understandingly. A person dwelling or lodging or having or maintaining a dwelling or lodging in a county for the greater part of the time between October 1 and June 30 next thereafter, is a resident of that county, within the meaning of this section. Those Who Are Disqualified Each of the following officers is disqualified to serve as a juror: 1. All elected members of the federal, state and city executive departments. 2. The comptroller; attorney-general; head of a department or head and members of a board. council or commission which is the head of a civil department of the federal, state or city government; members of the state tax commission; or the state commission of correction; or the state industrial board; or the public service and transit commissions; the commissioner of education; or agriculture and markets; or social welfare and the deputy of each; the secretary to the governor. 3. A member of congress or of the legislature. or of the city council of the city of New York. 4. A judge of a court of record, or a surrogate. 5. A sheriff, under sheriff, or deputy sheriff. regularly engaged in the performance of his duties. 6. The clerk or deputy clerk of any court. No public officer or employee of the United States government, or of any state, city or municipality, or of any political subdivision of any of them, or of any official board, authority, council, commission, corporation, or other agency of any of them, shall serve on any grand jury. Those Who May Claim Exemption Those entitled to exemption from jury service are-women, clergymen, physicians, surgeons, surgeon dentists, pharmacists, embalmers, optometrists, attorneys; members of the army, navy, marine corps, national guard, naval militia; firemen, policemen, exempt volunteer firemen; officers of vessels, licensed pilots. Exemptions are based on affidavits filed with the county clerk, and subject to public inspection. The right to exemption must be claimed at the time of examination for liability to serve as a juror. If a person fails to present such claim at such time, he shall be deemed to have waived the same and cannot be exempted thereafter except for reasons accruing after the time of examination. If, however, he claims exemption at the time of his examination and is not granted the same, he may present such claim for exemption to the court when drawn for jury service or may review such refusal in the manner provided by article 78 of the civil practice act. Jurors now serve only once in 2 years. A new law requires the checking of prospective jurors' names against police records before they are accepted, reduces the service required in General Sessions to the two weeks required in civil courts of Manhattan and the Bronx and prescribes procedure designed to reduce annoyances incidental to jury service. |
