A booklet called A Juror s Guide will likely be distributed. It is also likely that you will view an orientation video. A court employee will be available to answer questions you may have. We in the judiciary attempt to reduce waiting time to the minimum required by the trial process. On occasions, however, waiting is part of the process.
Jurors often feel frustrated when they are required to wait.
We do, too. Please accept any delay as part of a process which does not allow judges to tell prospective jurors about legal issues which are causing delays. Some jurors bring reading material for those occasions where there is a delay. Jury selection is an important part of any jury trial. You will be sent to a courtroom with other prospective jurors.
