Qualification Questionnaire Letter or Form

If you recently received a letter from the U.S. District Court directing you to complete a Juror Qualification Questionnaire online using eJuror, the letter is legitimate and is not a scam. The letter includes a unique nine-digit participant number (highlighted in yellow near your name and address) and this number is required to access the secure eJuror site. Courts across the country use eJuror to reduce costs and increase efficiency in the juror qualification process.

You are required to complete a Qualification Questionnaire to determine your eligibility to serve as a juror in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. If you are found to be eligible, you may be randomly selected for service between December 2025 and December 2027.
