In South Florida, particularly in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, individuals receive jury summonses based on records from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. To qualify for jury duty, one must be at least 18 years old, a US citizen or permanent resident, and reside in the county of summons. Certain individuals, such as those with felony convictions or law enforcement officers, may be ineligible. If an individual seeks to be excused or postpone, they must provide sufficient justification, such as having full custody of a child or being a full-time law enforcement officer. Failure to appear for jury duty can have legal consequences.
In South Florida, jury summonses are randomly selected from Department of Highway Safety records, emphasizing the importance of having a driver's license or state ID.
To be excused from jury duty in Florida, you must provide valid proof that you fit into specific categories such as being a law enforcement officer or having sole custody of a child.
