For most of us, perhaps today may be the same old routine, but for those of us who
report for Jury Service – today might be an exciting and rewarding experience. You
might find yourself sitting on a jury where you will be using DNA evidence to acquit
or convict an individual accused of a crime, or you might find yourself deciding
whether or not to award millions of dollars in damages in a breach of contract claim
involving two corporations. Today, you might find yourself making important decisions
that will have a substantial impact on someone’s life, or on business.
Jury Service is just that – a service that is provided to others, to the justice
system, and to the community. However, such service may not always be requested
on a convenient date and sometimes scheduling conflicts arise.
We have listened to you and now, you may reschedule your jury service online or
through our automated phone system immediately upon receiving your summons.
