If a member of the militia requests the home addresses and telephone numbers of jurors from a traffic case, should the clerk release this information?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with a court order
• D. Only to the defendant

Answer: (B)

Juror contact information is kept confidential to protect the safety and privacy of people serving on juries. The clerk’s duty is to shield addresses and phone numbers from public disclosure and to share such information only with authorized court personnel for official purposes. A member of the militia who is not a party to the case does not have a legitimate, authorized need for this information, so the clerk should not release it. If someone requests it, politely decline and follow the court’s confidentiality policy.
