I realize that jury service is often inconvenient, the right to trial by jury is one of the most fundamental American principles and is a basic right assured to all persons. The full cooperation of every citizen is necessary if our system of justice is to function fairly and efficiently. As Circuit Clerk, I will make every effort to ensure that your time as a juror is a pleasant one.
