Do not take time off from work or school until you have actually been instructed to appear via Webex or to the courthouse. If you do not logon or come to the courthouse as instructed, the court could hold you in contempt and impose a fine/jail. If you have an emergency and cannot logon for the selection process, please contact the Jury Coordinator as soon as possible.
