Q: What if I have an emergency during jury duty?
Report any emergencies to the court, the bailiff or the court clerk. Once you receive your summons, it is your responsibility to contact the Jury Coordinator either online or in writing to request a postponement to a time that does not conflict with your vacation or business trip. The Jury Coordinator will adjust your term of service and will send you a new summons to appear on a different date. Report any concerns including trouble hearing to the bailiff or court clerk. Many courts can make accommodations for this through assisted listening devices and real time court reporting. If this is a concern for you prior to your jury service, contact the Jury Coordinator. |
