FAQ
JURY Is there a dress code for jurors? Proper court attire is mandatory. No jeans, shorts, tank tops, sweats or other very casual attire is permitted. Dress "business casual" or "business" for your appearance.
In Nassau County, jurors who are not involved in a voir dire or trial are excused after one or two days. Those who are selected on a jury are required to serve on only one trial. On average, the length of a civil trial ranges from one or two days. Criminal trials average slightly longer.
If you are found guilty after either a court trial or a jury trial, the judge decides the penalty (the sentence). A court trial usually takes less than an hour, a jury trial usually takes a full day. The court schedules your trial for another day.
If the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor, this also restores one right to serve on a jury. Under California law, a convicted felon is disqualified from serving on a jury until and unless his or her civil rights have been restored.
A Look at the Trial Process Presentation of Evidence and Testimony of Witnesses. The plaintiff's or prosecution's case is presented first. Closing Arguments. Presentation of Jury Instructions (Charging the Jury) ... Deliberation. Announcement of the Verdict.
You do not want to be embarrassed in a room filled of people by a judge. I advise that your hair is pulled up and out of your face, you can wear your hair down as long as it's not out of place and nowhere near your face. No fashion statements, the judge will point out and laugh if it is out there enough.
Proper dress attire is required when serving on jury duty. Please do not wear shorts, cutoffs, tank tops, jeans, sandals or halter tops. Metal detection screening is required of any individual entering the court building. Please refrain from carrying all forms of sharp instruments or weapons.
You are expected to conduct yourself with reserve and courtesy, and when appearing at the courthouse, must dress appropriately to preserve the dignity of the Court. Proper attire includes coat and tie for men and similarly appropriate attire for women. No jeans, polo shirts or sneakers.
Medical conditions, deafness, difficult sitting for long periods, people who know the defendant or officers, people who've been victims of crimes, financial hardship, and more will be excused. Depending on the county, they might call 100 people to select just 12.
Predictable Outcomes: Judges' decisions are generally more predictable than those of a jury, in which emotions or personal biases can sway. If, for example, you're assigned a judge with a record of showing leniency for mitigating circumstances, your attorney might recommend waiving the jury trial.
