§ 31-70. Summons for jurors.

(a)

Upon receipt of the jury list, the clerk of the court shall cause a summons substantially in the form heretofore prescribed by the city council to be issued and served upon each person on the jury list.

(b)

Service shall be made, as the judge may prescribe by rule or direct by order, either in person upon the juror by the marshal of the court or by any member of the police force of this municipality, or by the clerk of the court, through certified mail, directed to the juror at his address as given in the jury list, with request for a personally signed return receipt. Any proceeding wherein service of summons by mail is in issue, evidence of the due mailing of the summons by the clerk or a member of his staff and the presentation of an official postal return receipt purportedly signed by the addressee shall be prima facie evidence that the summons was duly received by the addressee and therefore that he was properly served therewith.
