Throughout the year, prospective jurors are selected randomly from the master list of all prospective jurors and sent a One Step qualification questionnaire. The questionnaire must be completed and returned by the prospective juror to the Commissioner of Jurors.
Jurors serve for the length of one trial.
If you are not participating in the voir dire process or have not been selected as a sworn juror your service is normally completed in one day. On average, the length of a civil trial ranges from three to five days. Criminal trials average from five to ten days. Some trials may last longer, some shorter. The judge or attorneys will inform you of the expected length of the trial.
