    JUROR ORIENTATION

    The first time you report for a trial you will attend orientation, and will remain to potentially serve on a trial.  From then on, you will report at the roll call time.  The recording will state separate times to report for orientation or roll call.  The number of jury trials varies, but you can expect to report for trial an average of once a week. Most trials last one to two days, but occasionally take longer.

    EXCUSED ABSENCES

    It is important that you call the jury coordinator during business hours if you need to be excused for future dates.  When you are told to report, on the the jury recording, we are relying on your being available for the full length of the trial.  If you are called in for a trial, and ask that day to be excused, it may be necessary to deny your request and require you to serve as a juror.
