Anyone registered to vote in NSW can be included on the jury roll and called up for jury service. The jury roll is a list of names of people, randomly selected by computer, from the NSW electoral roll.
The first step in the jury selection process is a Notice of Inclusion. If you've received a notice it means that during the next 12 months you may receive a jury summons to attend court. The jury summons is posted to you and usually sent out a month before you have to attend court.
If you're selected as a juror, you'll get paid an allowance.
You can ask to be excused from jury service for various reasons, including the kind of work you do, personal circumstances or because you're away from the state.
For more information, refer to Jury service.
