The guards on duty are required to confiscate such contraband items as guns, knives, mace, or other implements which could be used as weapons or are considered a danger to the court. If you own such items, you should leave them at home. There are certain rules of behavior that a juror should follow. Foremost among these is the requirement to always be on time.
Delays inconvenience the judge, the attorney's, the parties, witnesses and other jurors.
When a court session begins and the judge enters the courtroom, everyone including the jurors, should rise. You should always give your undivided attention to every question and answer during a trial, and during the voir dire process. You must answer all questions put to you with complete honesty. You should attempt to be as quiet as possible in court, and also when you are in the hallways near the courtrooms. Roll call is held each morning to record the presence of the jurors on the general jury panel.
