Queens Division of Jurors

Celine Secada

My 95 year old grandmother who is physically disabled (needs a wheelchair and a caretaker) and suffers Alzheimer's was summoned for jury duty. She can't even remember her own name. I guess she'd make a great juror!!!

Worst experience of my life, got there at 9 and went up for questioning by the attorney. I didn’t get questioned the first day. (Didn’t go back for the second) they questioned 8 people for two hours and went on break for 2 and a half hours. We came back from lunch at 3 and they told the first set of people they could go home after that 2 and half hour break. Then questioned another 8 and that took an hour and then told them to go home at 4 and after that security came in to tell them that it’s time to go and we would have to come back the next day. I’m a full time college student, this is so uncalled for.

The security officers were very friendly and professional. Once inside the staff that address the jurors need training. The white woman who addressed the jurors was very nasty. Her tone was condescending. I felt like I was heading to prison or being detained not serving jury duty. She automatically raised her voice because a gentleman didn't have on the correct face mask. She was so nasty I was embarrassed . During a break I asked someone else where I could make a formal complaint and not even five mins later she came to my seat and verbally attacked me. She told me to give her my juror ID and I could leave. The audacity! I will form a formal complaint.

Clean and well organized place. The officers are very helpful with people. They start at 9:00am and it may take until 4:00pm. It depends of the number. No recording or taking pictures. It's prohibited! No using phone in the waiting room but you can enjoy a movie. The phone can be used in the back of the room. Yes, people can use it and they can also have some snacks or refreshments from vending machines. There are some tables with chairs. In the break time, people are allowed to go out and bring their food to the place but in the back of course. The people in the room watch a movie until they will call their number. For people who are disqualified, they give them certification of 4 years not to appear in Jury Duty and leave the place. For people who get the letter for Jury Duty, they MUST call or go online to check their number in which location they need to go!! Do not ignore it!! Sometimes, you keep checking until you see or hear your number. Because sometimes, it is not the date on the letter but Keep calling or checking online until you will hear or see your number. It's by law to serve for Jury duty and don't turn up for your jury service.
