What happens when I report for jury duty?

After all the jurors have been checked in, you will go through our juror orientation program. Our juror orientation video is viewed and the Jury Managers will go over many other areas of concern. Also included in the orientation is a visit by the Duty Judge, welcoming the new jury pool to their service. The entire orientation will last about 1 hour. After orientation, we can start assigning new jurors to courtroom service.
