The Court of Queen’s Bench is taking precautions to protect your health during the jury selection and trial process to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19. You may be provided with a medical mask and be required to wear the mask unless you are exempt from these requirements. You will be required to produce your Alberta-issued COVID-19 vaccine record with the QR code. Voluntary Rapid COVID-19 Testing will be available, and will be conducted by qualified professionals.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19 in the days leading up to jury selection, do not attend the jury selection, and you must call your local courthouse prior to attending.
You must also call the number on your "Important Information Form" after 2:00PM on the day before the jury selection date appearing on your summons. A recorded message will let you know if you are required to attend jury selection.
For assistance completing the following Jury Summons Response form, please refer to the following links:

An exemption may be applied for by EITHER
