Jan 2008 Law Reform Commission "CONSULTATION PAPER CRITERIA FOR SERVICE AS JURORS"
1.12 The Commissioner of Registration, appointed under section 2 of the Registration of Persons Ordinance (Cap 177) is empowered by section 7 of the Jury Ordinance to compile a provisional list of jurors.
1.16 When members of the public apply for identity cards, either for registration or for replacement, the Commissioner of Registration takes the opportunity to identify potential jurors. The registration officer will consider whether the applicant meets the qualification requirements set out in section 4 of the Jury Ordinance (Cap 3) for inclusion in the provisional list of jurors, if he is not already on the list. In broad terms, persons between the age of 21 and 65 who have attained an educational level of at least Form 7 (or its equivalent) will be treated as qualified, as long as they are not exempted persons under section 5 of the Jury Ordinance. Any potential juror will be presumed by the Commissioner to be of sound mind, unless there is evidence to the contrary. In practice, it is the Registrar of the High Court who maintains the provisional list of jurors, using information provided by the Commissioner of Registration.
1.17 The Commissioner of Registration also annually requests the eight local universities (University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, Lingnan University and the Open University of Hong Kong) to provide a list of their graduates. The Commissioner then seeks up-to-date personal details from those graduates to enable him to consider whether they should be included in the provisional list of jurors. The Commissioner will also inform the graduates that they are no longer exempt from service as jurors as they have ceased to be full-time students."
