Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Dearborn, Michigan

Jury Duty: All adult U.S. citizens who live in Dearborn are eligible to be called for jury duty in Dearborn, Michigan. This is the only way that many people interact with the court system. If you are called to serve in jury duty (typically, every person is eligible to be called for jury duty once per year), when you get the letter from the court telling you to show up for jury duty (typically a few weeks after the letter arrives), you are legally obligated to do so on the appointed date. You are then placed in a large "juror pool," and called into a courtroom that has an upcoming trial. The lawyers for each side of the case will then ask each juror some questions to determine if they are biased. If the lawyer doesn't want a juror serving on the jury, they can dismiss the juror (they only have a limited number of dismissals, however). If you are dismissed, you're done. If you end up on the jury, you are now serving a very important role in the justice system, and it's important that you follow all of the judge's instructions.
