The AI checks your answers before you download

12 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Juror and Case ID Consistency Across Pages

This check ensures that the 'Juror ID number' and 'Case number' fields are filled out on every page where they appear. It also verifies that the same numbers are used consistently throughout the entire document. This is critical for maintaining the integrity and proper association of all questionnaire pages to the correct juror and case, preventing data mix-ups during processing.

Valid Juror Age

This validation verifies that the value entered in the 'AGE' field (1.1) is a positive integer greater than or equal to 18. This is essential to confirm the prospective juror meets the minimum legal age requirement for jury service. If the field is blank, non-numeric, or below the legal age, the form submission should be flagged for review.

Conditional Explanation for 'Yes' Responses

For numerous questions (e.g., 1.2, 1.36, 1.38), a 'YES' answer requires a mandatory explanation in a subsequent text field. This check ensures that if 'YES' is selected, the corresponding explanation field is not empty or filled with placeholder text like 'N/A'. This is crucial for the court to understand the context behind the juror's affirmative answer.

Logical Consistency of Employment Status

This check validates the selections in the 'PRESENT EMPLOYMENT STATUS' section (1.9). A juror cannot select logically contradictory options, such as being both 'Employed full-time' and 'Unemployed, looking for work'. This rule prevents invalid data combinations and ensures the juror's employment situation is clearly and accurately represented.

Completeness of Employment Details

If a juror checks 'Employed full-time' or 'Employed part-time' (1.9), this validation ensures that the related fields for 'Current or most recent occupation' (1.10), 'Name of your current or most recent employer' (1.11), and 'Specific job duties' (1.12) are all completed. This information is vital for the attorneys to assess potential biases or experiences related to the juror's profession.

Conditional Supervisory Count

This validation rule applies to question 1.13, 'Does your job involve supervising other people?'. If the juror answers 'YES', the system must verify that the following field, 'Approximately how many?', contains a valid numerical value. An empty or non-numeric entry would render the 'YES' answer incomplete and require correction.

Common Mistakes in Completing JURY-002

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Missing Juror/Case ID on Subsequent Pages
The form requires the Juror ID and Case Number on nearly every page, but people often fill it in on the first page and forget the rest. This happens due to the repetitive nature of the task. This omission creates clerical work for court staff who must manually add the information to keep the document organized and can lead to pages being misplaced, potentially compromising the record.
Leaving Fields Blank Instead of Writing 'N/A'
The instructions explicitly state to write 'N/A' for questions that don't apply, but many people leave them blank out of habit. This creates ambiguity, forcing lawyers and the judge to ask whether the question was missed or was truly not applicable. To avoid this, carefully review each question and use 'N/A' as directed to show you have read and considered the question.
Providing Vague Occupation Details
When asked for job duties (Questions 1.12, 1.20), potential jurors often provide a title like 'Manager' or 'Analyst' without the requested specifics. This happens because people may want to be brief or consider their duties obvious. However, this lack of detail prevents the court from assessing potential biases or expertise related to the case, leading to time-consuming follow-up questions during oral voir dire.
Incomplete Responses to Multi-Part Questions
Sections concerning prior experience as a crime victim (1.31), witness (1.32), or contact with law enforcement (1.33) contain numerous follow-up questions. A common error is to answer 'Yes' to the main question but fail to fill out the required details like 'Who,' 'When,' and 'What happened.' This forces attorneys to question the juror extensively in open court, potentially on sensitive topics, slowing down the selection process for everyone.
Inconsistent Reporting for 'Significant Personal Relationship'
The form defines a 'person with whom you share a significant personal relationship,' but individuals often apply this term inconsistently across different sections. They might list a partner's job in one section but forget to include them in another question about law enforcement contact. This can result from misinterpreting the definition or simply forgetting, leading to an incomplete picture of the juror's potential influences and biases.
Failing to Explain Disagreement with Legal Principles
Question 1.34 asks if the juror understands, agrees with, and will follow the principle of 'presumed innocent.' If a person answers 'No' to any part, they are required to explain why, but this explanation is frequently missed. This is a critical error as it immediately calls into question the juror's ability to be impartial and follow the law, almost guaranteeing a dismissal if not clarified satisfactorily.
Contradictory Answers on Death Penalty Views
In the Capital Case Supplement, jurors may state a strong opposition to the death penalty (2.2) but then claim they can set those views aside and impose it (2.7). This contradiction often arises from a desire to be seen as a 'good' or fair juror, but it creates doubt about their true ability to be impartial. Such answers require extensive follow-up and can lead to disqualification for cause if the juror cannot reconcile their personal beliefs with their legal duty.
Submitting Illegible Handwriting
Despite the instruction to 'PLEASE PRINT ALL ANSWERS LEGIBLY,' many questionnaires are submitted with handwriting that is difficult or impossible to read. This forces court staff and attorneys to guess at answers or spend valuable court time asking the juror to repeat their entire questionnaire orally. Using an AI-powered tool like Instafill.ai can solve this by converting the non-fillable PDF into a typed, perfectly legible document.
Forgetting to Sign or Date the Verification Page
The final verification page, where the juror signs under penalty of perjury, is one of the most critical parts of the form, yet it is commonly left blank. People are often fatigued by the end of the long questionnaire and simply overlook it. An unsigned form is not legally valid and must be returned to the juror for completion, causing delays and administrative hassle.
Incomplete Information in Tables
The table for children's information (1.24) requires five distinct pieces of data for each child, and it is common for jurors to miss columns like 'Occupation' or 'Education,' especially for adult children. This happens when rushing through complex grid-based questions. Incomplete data requires clarification and prevents a full understanding of the juror's family background and potential connections.

What is the purpose of the JURY-002 Juror Questionnaire?
This form is used to gather information about your background and views to help the court and lawyers select a fair and impartial jury for a criminal case. It is designed to make the jury selection process more efficient.
Who needs to fill out this questionnaire?
Potential jurors who have been called to the trial court for a criminal case must fill out this form. Your honest and complete answers help determine if you can be an unbiased juror for the specific case.
Why are the questions so personal about my employment, family, and experiences with crime?
These questions are not meant to invade your privacy, but to ensure you can be a fair juror. Your life experiences shape your attitudes, and the court needs to understand any potential biases you might have related to the case.
What does the form mean by 'person with whom you share a significant personal relationship'?
This term refers to a former spouse, domestic partner, life partner, or anyone with whom you have an influential or intimate relationship that you would consider important.
What should I do if a question is too personal or sensitive to answer on the form?
If a question asks for sensitive information you are uncomfortable sharing publicly, you can write 'private' next to it. The court may then provide an opportunity for you to answer in a more private setting with only the judge, lawyers, and court reporter present.
Are my answers on this questionnaire confidential?
No, the information you provide becomes part of the public court record for the case. However, for sensitive questions marked as 'private,' you may be able to discuss them in a less public setting.
What is the 'Capital Case Supplement' and why am I being asked about the death penalty?
This supplement is used in cases where the defendant could face the death penalty. The questions help determine if you can fairly consider both possible sentences—death or life imprisonment without parole—if the defendant is found guilty of first-degree murder with special circumstances.
What does it mean that I am answering 'under penalty of perjury'?
This means you are making a sworn statement that your answers are true and complete to the best of your knowledge. Intentionally providing false information can have legal consequences.
What should I do if I have a medical condition or disability that might affect my jury service?
You should describe any difficulties, such as vision, hearing, or other medical problems, in the space provided in question 1.3. This helps the court understand any potential challenges to your service.
What happens after I fill out the questionnaire?
The completed questionnaires are duplicated and given to the judge and the lawyers for both sides. They will review your answers to help them ask more targeted questions during the oral questioning part of jury selection, known as voir dire.
I have strong beliefs about law enforcement. Where do I note this?
Question 1.37 asks for your general opinions about law enforcement officers. You should provide a complete and honest answer there to ensure your ability to be impartial can be properly assessed.
Can I use an AI tool to help me fill out this form?
Yes, services like Instafill.ai use AI to accurately auto-fill form fields, which can help you complete the questionnaire more quickly and efficiently.
