Online Services Jury Service Jury Selection Jury Selection In this section Jury Service Failure to Appear Jury Selection Qualification & Terms Reporting Request for Deferral What to Expect About Jury Selection Once you have checked in, you will be directed to a courtroom. The clerk will call the role to determine who is present. Twelve to eighteen names on a random list of jurors will be called. These people will take seats in the jury box. The remaining prospective jurors will remain seated in the courtroom. The judge will explain what the case is about and introduce the lawyers and parties to you. All prospective jurors will be required to agree to truthfully answer all questions asked. Next, the judge and/or the attorneys will question each prospective juror seated in the jury box to find out if they would be an appropriate juror in the particular case. This is called voir dire. If a juror is excused during this process, the clerk will call the next name on the random list to take the place of the excused juror. Voir dire questioning may take more than one day. Carefully follow the directions of the judge and courtroom staff regarding date and time to return. If you are going to be late, immediately contact the clerk of the courtroom to which you have been assigned and explain your situation. Remember, the trial cannot proceed until everyone is present. Occasionally, issues arise in trial preparation or events occur during a trial which could not be anticipated. When this happens, the judge and the parties may need to address the matter outside of your presence. You should not speculate about what is going on. Rest assured that the judge respects your time and will make every effort not to waste it. Challenges During the selection process, an attorney may excuse you for a specific reason. This is called a challenge for cause. An attorney may also excuse you for no reason. This is called a peremptory challenge. If this happens, do not take it personally. The lawyer is merely exercising a right given by law. After the required number of jurors have been chosen, the jury panel is sworn to try the case.

A legal process in which one legal parent has custody of a minor and the stepmother or stepfather is seeking to become the legal parent of the child. How does the process begin? Refer to the California Courts Self-Help Center, Guide to adoptions in California . An adoption request is filed with the Family Law Clerk's office. Forms can be found at t he California Courts Self-Help Center . See the fee schedule for fees to file the petition. There are additional fees for investigation service . If the fees present a hardship, you may be eligible for a fee waiver. The Request to Waive Court Fees ( FW-001 ) is the basic fee waiver form. For additional fees a ( FW-002 ) is required. To learn more about this form and applying for a fee waiver, read the Information Sheet on Waiver of Superior Court Fees and Costs . What happens next? Once an adoption request has been filed, Family Court Services will be notified and begin the investigation process. The petitioner will be given forms to complete and a list of documents the petitioner will need to obtain. Once you have gathered the required documents, you will need to schedule an appointment with the court investigator. The investigator will interview the petitioner, the spouse and the minor(s). The investigator will check law enforcement records, child abuse registry records and will verify the petitioner's employment. Petitioner must obtain references from three individuals not related to the him or her. The investigator's report, recommending for or against the adoption, will be sent to the court. What about the other (absent) parent? It is necessary to either gain the consent of the absent parent or terminate their parental rights before the adoption can be granted. It is the responsibility of the petitioner to attempt to locate the other parent and obtain their consent. If their whereabouts are unknown or they are unwilling to sign the consent, the petitioner will need to meet the legal requirements to proceed with the adoption. See Freedom from Parental Custody and Control When will the adoption take place? If all the legal requirements have been met, the petitioner will need to submit a memorandum for a hearing. The Family Law Clerk's Office will then set a hearing date for adoption. The State of California will send you a birth certificate with the child's adopted name six to twelve months after the adoption hearing.
