§ 6-1003.Juror qualification form information.

The Nebraska Juror Qualification Form asks people questions that go beyond bare eligibility, and § 6-1003 controls what happens to the sensitive part of that information. Through December 31, 2025, the CONFIDENTIAL JUROR INFORMATION section, Part VII of the form, has to be detachable. Clerks or jury commissioners remove it, store it confidentially through the end of the jury term, and then deliver it to an approved research agent — the Nebraska Minority and Justice Implementation Committee and the Nebraska Racial Justice Initiative are the two agents the Nebraska Supreme Court has approved. No one else gets access to those detached sections, though courts with the capability may transmit the information to the research agent electronically instead of on paper.

After December 31, 2025, the process shifts to the electronic system described in § 6-1002. Every completed form, whether submitted electronically or on paper, gets entered into the e-Jury system through JUSTICE, or into approved independent jury management software, by the jury commissioner or designated court staff in each county. That information becomes available to the State Court Administrator as an agent of the Supreme Court, and any release of juror information has to comply with Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1673. Courts remain free to release aggregate information about the juror pool, so long as names and other identifying details are protected, and counties using independent software must transmit that aggregate information to the State Court Administrator annually.
