How Long do Jurors Serve?

The length of your juror service depends on the court to which you report. Most trials in Municipal Court last one day only. Some trials may run two to three days, depending on the type of case and the number of witnesses. However, that rarely occurs in Municipal Court.

The jury selection process is designed to reduce juror-waiting time. However, before and during the trial you may be required to wait in the jury room while the judge and the lawyers settle questions of law. Judges and court personnel will do everything they can to minimize any waiting that occurs both before and during trial.
