Focus on Fairness and Accessibility

Berks County Jury Information takes seriously its responsibility to assemble fair and impartial juries.

While we cannot eliminate every frustration, we remain committed to transparency, regularly reviewing our selection protocols and exploring ways to broaden outreach. We value your feedback and strive to treat every potential juror with equal respect and consideration.

Managing Summons Frequency

Another common theme among reviews is the frequency of summons: “Guess who got jury duty summons again for now the fourth time,” writes one individual, and a parent notes, “My son has gotten picked three times and he’s only 21.” We recognize that repeated call-ups can be inconvenient. Our office continually examines the size and composition of the juror pool, aiming to distribute service obligations fairly across all eligible residents. We appreciate your patience and encourage you to reach out if you believe you’ve been summoned disproportionately.
