有人知道是咋回事吗?
It is Jury Duty. For many generations, trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our criminal justice system. Through participation in the jury system, the people of a community play a direct role in the administration of justice.8 R* I8 Z2 x" s `8 i
Prospective juror names are randomly selected from the Alberta Registries database within the Province of Alberta. On occasion a name may be selected of a citizen who has either moved or is deceased, usually when a change in personal information has not been updated with Alberta Registries. An online questionnaire is available to determine your eligibility for jury duty. ' y* v0 L- S8 u, D% T5 e: u/ w. r* F6 F) W \5 F1 {: ^
Don't worry if you don't want to attend, you can tell them you don't understand English very well. Then you can be free. ) n! [0 C; O5 S% Q; P( ohttp://www.albertacourts.ab.ca/C ... id/243/Default.aspx* n v o! x3 d; _* p1 i
Don't worry. If you have a valid reason, you don't have to go. I had this letter before. I didn't go because I was working and studying full time. I just wrote the reason and attached my tuition fee payment receipt, then mail the letter back. They will mail you a letter to inform their final decision. & h. q2 S7 K2 f3 eGood luck!
