What matters now
- The national jury-service pages describe the federal jury system generally, not your court's specific instructions.
- Your summoning federal district court's website hosts the Juror Qualification Questionnaire via eJuror.
- Each district court draws jurors from the counties in its district or its jury divisions.
- The Federal Court Finder locates your specific district court's website and contact information.
If you received a federal jury summons and are looking for reporting instructions, the national U.S. Courts page directs readers to the federal district court where they were selected to serve: “You must visit the website of the federal district court where you were selected to serve to complete an online Juror Qualification Questionnaire via eJuror and to learn additional details should you be summoned to report to court for jury service” (U.S. Courts).

National and local guidance
For the questionnaire itself and any further details tied to a summons, the record is direct: “You must visit the website of the federal district court where you were selected to serve to complete an online Juror Qualification Questionnaire via eJuror and to learn additional details should you be summoned to report to court for jury service” (U.S. Courts).
Which court summoned you, and why
The record states: “Each district court summons eligible citizens from counties in the district or, if the district has multiple jury divisions, from the counties in those jury divisions” (U.S. Courts).
Finding your specific court’s website
The national guidance names the tool for identifying and reaching the relevant court: “Use the Federal Court Finder to find your local federal court’s website or the court’s contact information if you have questions about jury service” (U.S. Courts).
