After a short recess court, will reconvene and the process of introducing you to the attorney's and selecting a jury will begin. It will take approximately two hours to question and select eight jurors and an alternate. If you were not selected as a juror your service is complete and you may leave. In the afternoon breaks will be taken as needed. We try not to have you sit for more than about one and a half hours at any time, with two hours being the maximum.
Jury deliberations can continue into the evening hours.
If you are deliberating over a meal hour then we will provide that meal for you. If your employer requires verification of your service, letters are provided at the Clerk of Courts office upon request. You will receive payment in the form of a check by mail approximately 30 days after you have reported to Court or served as a juror.
