WHO ARE GRAND JURORS?
Grand jurors are United States citizens and legal residents of this state and their respective counties who are at least 18 years of age and who possess a driver’s license or identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, or who execute an affidavit indicating a desire to serve as a juror. All jurors are selected at random and their names are taken from lists prepared by the clerk of the circuit court. The process of selecting the statewide grand jury is handled by the State Courts Administrator for the Florida Supreme Court. When making up the jury list, the officers compiling it are required to select only citizens they believe to be law-abiding, and of proven integrity, good character, sound judgment and intelligence, and who are not mentally infirm.
