Welcome to the Juror Information Web site. Jury duty touches the lives of millions of New Yorkers each year. More than 600,000 people serve annually and each one has family, friends, employers and co-workers who are affected by their jury service. After receiving a jury notice, everyone has questions. "Why must I serve?" "How long must I serve?" " Can I get a postponement?" Who pays the jury fee?" "What should I tell my employer?" "What are my obligations as an employer of a juror?" Some simply ask: "Why me?"

I know from personal experience that a summons for jury duty raises many concerns about how you will be able to fit the civic obligation of jury duty into your busy life. This site is designed to answer many of these concerns and give you an introduction into your upcoming jury service.
