At least fifteen days before the opening of the session, the clerk of the assize court convenes each of the full and alternate jurors by post. This notice specifies the date and time of the opening of the session, its foreseeable duration and the place where it will be held. It reiterates the obligation of any citizen required to respond to this summons on pain of being fined in accordance with article 288. It invites the summoned juror to return, by return of post, to the clerk’s office of the assize court the receipt enclosed with the summons, after having duly signed it.
If necessary, the court clerk may request the police or gendarmerie services to search for any jurors who have not responded to the summons and to return it to them.
