While cracking down on jurors who shirk their civic duty, Fulton County Superior Court will give pats on the backs to those who serve. The court will hold its first annual "Juror Appreciation Week" from July 18-22, which is around the time sheriff's deputies are expected to start knocking on no-show jurors' doors bearing orders to appear before a judge.
Court spokesman Quinn Hudson said there is no connection between the two efforts. The week's activities include health screenings, free legal clinics, greetings from judges, movies and goodie bags.
