Janice Cossette-Court Administrator/Jury Commissioner
If you have been determined to be a qualified juror and have submitted your questionnaire to the Court, the following is general information of what to expect during jury service.
Jury duty will last 2 months or 10 days of attendance, whichever comes first unless you have been selected to serve on a trial that lasts more than 10 days. During this two-month term, a juror’s name is kept in the computer as part of a “jury pool” which consists of numerous jurors.
Jurors will not be reporting for service everyday or every week during your two-month term.
Jurors are considered “on-call” and would report ONLY when a Notice to Appear letter is sent with a specific reporting date and time. Letters are mailed about a week in advance to a group of jurors who are randomly selected from the “jury pool”. This notice/letter will indicate a phone number for jurors to call the evening before a trial to learn if the jury group is still needed to report the next day. (That phone number is 299-7306 – do not leave a message).
Jurors will be compensated for each day of service at the rate of $10.00 plus mileage. Some jurors may be eligible for Day Care reimbursement.
Conflict dates for doctor appointments and vacations will be honored if the request is reasonable. All requests must be in writing; they will not be taken over the phone. Please submit a written list of dates by mail as soon as possible or at least two weeks in advance of the appointment/vacation. Failure to provide this information does not excuse you from jury service. Once you are summoned to a particular trial date you must appear.
Each juror will receive jury orientation the first time they actually report for service. Further information will be provided and questions answered at that time.
Thank you for your cooperation.
