Why are some prospective jurors instructed to report on their summons while others are told to call back for further instructions?
All San Bernardino County prospective jurors are required to call a prerecorded message the evening prior to their actual date of appearance. Most prospective jurors are summoned to appear but others are asked to call back again between 11 a.m. and 12 noon on their same summonsed date for possible appearance at 12:30 p.m. that same day. If additional jurors are required they will appear that same date if not the jurors will cancel and their service is complete for the next twelve months.
