We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is a disadvantage of having a grand jury?

The grand jury operates without providing many fundamental rights common in court hearings and trials. For example, the defendant has neither the right to present evidence to the grand jury or cross-examine the witnesses against him or her.

Can I tell people Im on the grand jury?

If you are a grand juror, there is a third principle you must observe grand jury secrecy and keep secret everything that happens when the grand jury meets. These principles and the jurors job did not change with the arrival of new technology and social media.

Can you tell people you are on a grand jury?

Grand jury proceedings are secret and only specifically authorized people can be present in the grand jury chamber, including the grand jurors, the ADA, a stenographer, the witness being questioned, and a few other classes of people necessary to support certain witnesses or to assist the functioning of the grand jury.

What happens if I fall asleep during jury duty?

You would probably get removed from the jury. Usually there are multiple rounds of jury selection. If you get randomly selected to be on the jury, the lawyers and judge will get to ask you questions. If you are asleep, youll probably get kicked off.

How does the grand jury work in Alaska?

A grand jury is a group of 12-18 citizens who decide whether there is enough evidence to charge a person with a felony crime. The prosecutor presents evidence to the grand jurors and calls witnesses to testify. Neither the defense nor a judge is in the room.

Can I tell people I got called for jury duty?

Check with the court, but there shouldnt be any reason that your merely being called for jury duty is confidential. However, you might not want people to know, especially if you wind up on a high profile case.

Are grand jurors sworn to secrecy?

The law imposes upon each grand juror a strict obligation of secrecy. This obligation is emphasized in the oath each grand juror takes and in the charge given to the grand jury by the judge.
