But once you're there if not cancelled, you gather in a room for most of the day while some office person checks each juror candidate to make sure they're qualified to actually serve. Qualifications such as: are they literate, do they understand English fluently. Are they disabled. If they are disabled, what kind of accommodations are necessary? Does the candidate want to take advantage of the one-time "gimme" and walk away from the jury before the trial starts? If the candidate wishes to disqualify himself in advance, is he able to demonstrate his reasons (moving out of state three days before trial would be justification. Getting a paid day off that day for a dental appointment is not).

After this step, I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can pick up from here. I was dismissed during this first process because I couldn't understand a word the judge was saying.

Not likely at Marion county
