Biographical Information:
 

Janice Sexton (R): I am seeking re-election to the office of Clerk of the District Court.  I am completing my first term in office; however, I have worked in the office for over 11 years.  I was born and raised in Laramie. I attended Laramie schools growing up; graduating from Laramie Sr. High in 1976.  I have worked at Farm Bureau Insurance, Farmers Insurance, and Smith Beverages prior to being hired by the District Court Clerk in 1995.  I am a member of Soroptimist International of Laramie, Albany County Cow-belles, Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee, and Hole-In-the-Wall Fly-Ball Club.

 
What changes would you advocate in the process for calling jurors to make it easier to establish jury pools?
 
Janice Sexton (R):  I have already made one major change that will not only give my office larger jury pools, but in the event of numerous trials, the same people should not be called over and over; instead of sending out 500 questionnaires, we have and will continue to send out 1000.  This is done once in the Fall and again in the Spring.  Even one time, jury duty can be inconvenient; this change will spread out the responsibility.
 
What portion of the expense of your office is borne by Albany County, what by the state?
 
Janice Sexton (R):  There is only one area in which the State contributes to the operation of my office; we receive a small monthly incentive for our role in the Child Support collections and disbursements. This is given directly to the County Treasurer.
