Who usually summons a pick-up jury?

• A. Judge
• B. Clerk
• C. Peace officer
• D. Prosecutor

Answer: (C)

The action of bringing jurors to the courtroom—the “pickup” part—rests with a peace officer. Their role includes escorting and securing jurors as needed, coordinating with the court to ensure jurors appear for service and are transported safely from waiting areas or custody to the courtroom. Judges oversee the proceedings, clerks handle scheduling and records (including issuing juror summons), and prosecutors handle the case itself; they don’t usually manage the physical pickup and security of jurors. So, the one who typically summons a pickup jury is the peace officer because of their duty to maintain order and manage transportation and security for the juror process.
