♦ You may be requested to appear for jury duty several times during your four month period or you may not be requested to appear at all.

♦ If you are selected as a juror, you may be involved in either a criminal or a civil trial.  The average trial lasts anywhere from one (1) to three (3) days unless otherwise specified by the judge.

♦ If you are not selected as a juror when requested to appear, you are normally released within two to three hours when the selected jurors are seated.

To determine your need to report while you are on call, please use one of the following methods.

♦ You must call the specific jury answering line for each judge prior to each of your report dates for instructions.
