Term/Length of Jury Service

Term of Service -  If you appear and are not selected to serve on a jury, you have fulfilled your civic obligation and cannot serve on jury duty for at least four years. When you are selected to serve on a trial, you are required to serve for the duration of that trial. Once released by the Judge, your jury service is considered fulfilled and you cannot serve on jury duty for at least four years.

If you are not required to actually appear for jury duty on the date(s) listed on the summons because a trial has been cancelled, but you have been available to serve for the date(s) listed, your jury duty is considered complete for at least four (4) years.

Length of Jury Day - Juror hours generally mirror regular courthouse hours, which are 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, it is possible the trial day may extend beyond 4:30 p.m. The Judge or court personnel will keep you informed about the anticipated court schedule.
