Judges and attorneys try to estimate how long trials will last, but the length can vary. Most District Court trials last one day. Most Circuit Court trials last three to five days.
During your term, you may be called for jury selection on one or two trials. If you are selected to serve on a jury, your service may continue beyond the standard two-week term.
On any day you are instructed to report, plan to be at the courthouse from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., unless you are told otherwise.
