What is the difference between a Questionnaire and Summons?
A Jury Questionnaire begins the screening process for prospective jurors. After reviewing your questionnaire, you may be selected for jury service during a specific time during the court year. A questionnaire does not mean you have to report for jury service. It is only the first step in determining who is eligible to serve as a juror.

A Summons letter is informing you of the dates that you are expected to be available for jury duty. If you are unable to serve once you receive a summons, you should write a letter to the Judge explaining your specific situation.
