Several court systems across the nation have adopted a new electronic jury system. Lubbock County could be next.
The Commissioners Court have approved the new I-Jury program.
It allows potential jurors to respond to summons on-line instead of waiting hours in a jury pool room.
Future jurors will just log-in to confirm their summons and will be e-mailed or text-messaged if they are needed for selection.
Court systems that have adopted the I-Jury system are reporting huge increases in voter turnout.
