Ind. Courts - New version of jury pool list now available

From a press release today on the Indiana Courts site:

An updated version of the Indiana Supreme Court's Jury Pool Master List is now available to all Indiana counties free of charge. * * *

In addition to being the most diverse and inclusive list available, the new updated Jury Pool master lists are also the most accurate, reducing the amount of returned mail and saving counties time and money.

The list uses data from the state Department of Revenue and Bureau of Motor vehicles, so anyone who drives, has a state ID card or pays taxes is included. The updated list eliminates duplicates and corrects addresses and was also matched against Indiana State Department of Health records to remove the names of citizens who are underage or deceased. Those who are not U.S. citizens, according to records at the Department of Revenue and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, were also removed from the list. * * *

The master lists are available to counties on CD-ROM and can also be formatted to send jury summonses and make mailing labels. Each county Jury Pool master list will be updated annually to ensure continued accuracy.
