Cass County residents are being advised of a new jury summons system that’s being implemented by Clerk and Register of Deeds Monica McMichael.
McMichael’s office says starting in August, the new system will require those summoned to fill out a questionnaire online instead of filling out a longhand form.
New postcards informing residents they’ve been picked for jury duty will list Cass County Courts in Cassopolis as the return address. The back of the card includes a QR code and URL directing recipients to the Juror Access website.
Those without a smart phone or internet access can call the clerk’s office for more information. Postcards for August jury trials are scheduled to be mailed next week.
Recipients are urged to carefully follow the instructions on the card and prepare to report as directed.
