Resumption of Jury Trials

Back to COVID-19 Home

Jury Office Home

 

October 5, 2020 AS PHASE 5 BEGINS

Jury trials in the Montgomery County Circuit Court are scheduled to resume on October 5, 2020. Because of the continuance of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need to comply with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) social distancing guidelines, it will be necessary to limit the number of persons summonsed for jury duty on a daily basis. As a result, the number of juries that can be selected on any given day will likely not exceed two. During the first two weeks, it is anticipated that only one jury will be selected per day. Multi-defendant criminal cases will likely not be accommodated for the first month of the new jury system. Please read the  Resumption of Jury Trials (PDF) carefully, as it governs important procedures for the conduct of jury trials for the immediate future.
