How Is A Jury Selected In A Canadian Criminal Case? 

I really want to sit on a jury. Everyone tells me that they try to get out of it but I actually want to experience it.

My daughter (18 living with me) and I both got jury duty questionnaires on the same day last year.I asked all my family and friends and no one has even got the questionnaire in their life. I just got the summons a couple weeks ago and I go next month.

I got called for jury duty three times so far here in Ontario. Once when I was 18 just months after getting to vote for the first time. Since I was a student at the time I got off. The second time I only had to fill in a survey and they didn't call me/contact me after that. The three-time I ended up having to go to the courthouse, got picked as the second alternate for a jury case about a sexual assault which at the time was fairly well known in the media (obviously I avoided all types of media during that time). Thankfully, after only a few hours, of officially being on the jury the judge removed me since I wasn't needed. Needless to say, I was very happy to be removed from that case.

I came here because I got summons in the mail today. This is my 2nd time to receive such, first was years ago where I sat in the jury. It was an eye-opening experience for me, my critical-thinking skills were really honed, lol!!! I learned in courts that evidence played major role here and one has to set aside emotions. Emotions don't work here, haha!!! So I'll just wait and see what are the odds of getting selected for the second time. Sitting in the jury is NOT a cool experience because it can either break or make you. The jurors had the option to undergo post-verdict debriefing but I chose to go on with my life as normal as possible.

In my life, I only know 2 people summoned for jury duty. 1 for jury duty once, and the other for jury duty 3 times. Yet neither of them ever served on the jury. Getting on a jury is like a 1 in 10,000 chance.

I’ll come back to this video again since i guess there’s more to it I just received a letter an hour ago btw

Thanks for the information. I go for jury selection tomorrow morning.

Ive been called for jury duty and Im nervous about it because I dont know the potential length and implication of the case. I would like to complete my citizen duty as a Canadian and your video answered many things for me, thank you!

Thank you for the useful information, may 25/2023 im going in!!

I'm glad they got rid of the preemptory challenges.

I'm watching this because I have been called for jury duty on January 6, 2022. Third time getting a notice, other two times I was told via email didn't have to go. Will be interesting if I do get to go. Merry Christmas to everyone!

Hello. At what stage entering the building would you have to show government issued identification? If children or an adult with a disability are accompanying the individual summoned is there a point in which they would not be allowed to proceed forward and be left unaccompanied?

What if you want to be excused from jury duty based off of your religious beliefs? Whats the process for that?

Thank you so much now I know what to expect.

I got the summons , I feel like it’s an omen because about eight of my grandfathers were Justices of the Peace.

whats the rights of jury in Canada? can we acquit for own personal reasons? jury nullification?

What’s the dress attire for this? I have a pre screening coming up. I’m more on dressing to feel comfortable. Is jeans and a plain hoodie ok?

extremely inspirational video. Thank you.
