You may be called to serve if you are at least 18 years old, a United States citizen, and a resident of Northampton County. That is, if you are not chosen to serve on a jury on the day you report, you will not have to return a second day. If you are chosen to serve on a jury, you will have to return for all sessions of the trial.
Most trials take less than five days to complete.
It is exceedingly rare that jurors are sequestered in a hotel during a trial. In virtually every case, jurors are allowed to return home at the end of the court day. Pennsylvania law provides that a juror is not required to answer anyone concerning a jury decision. The law provides that such conduct is contempt of court punishable by fine and imprisonment. You will receive notice of the date and time you are required to appear at the courthouse.
