A prospective juror may establish an exemption without appearing in person by filing a signed statement with whom?

• A. The clerk of the court
• B. The judge
• C. The voter registrar
• D. The sheriff

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the clerk of the court is the official who handles administrative paperwork for jury service, including exemptions. A prospective juror can establish an exemption without appearing by submitting a signed statement to the clerk. The clerk reviews and forwards such requests to the court for consideration, making the process work without in-person appearance. The judge would review exemptions if needed, but the filing itself goes to the clerk rather than the judge. The voter registrar isn’t involved in jury exemptions, and the sheriff has no role in processing these requests.
