Thank You.

Welcome to jury duty in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio. Your faithful service as a juror is one of the highest duties of citizenship. We are confident you will find your time spent as a juror both an important and rewarding experience.

Jurors perform a vital role in the American judicial system. The protection of our constitutional rights and liberties is largely achieved through the teamwork of judge and jury who, working together, ensure the fair and impartial administration of justice. The judge determines the law to be applied in the case while the jury decides the facts. Thus, in a significant way, jurors become a part of the Court.

Our Court is grateful for your willingness to accept this responsibility. We wish to extend our appreciation for your service and trust that you will leave with a greater understanding of our jury system in this country.

Christian M. Capece
Clerk of Court
