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.1 s* H- x+ p# E2 c% E3 ~. s
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. 5 j2 p( N9 o2 t+ j" D2 ^' V: y7 I' X4 F
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.* `! ]; e8 \7 x& H, B http://www.albertacourts.ab.ca/C ... id/243/Default.aspx6 w* j3 Z# m$ d' }3 e8 M- `
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. " d4 k2 x% F$ X s7 aGood luck!
