Welcome to jury service within the New York State Unified Courts Third Judicial District. Jury service plays an essential role in our system of justice. The Constitutions of the United States and the State of New York guarantee to us the right to trial by jury when certain legal interests or liberties are at stake. These laws also provide that a collective body of "eligible" citizens shall perform as jurors, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or economic status.

It requires no special skills or legal knowledge, but only that you be honest, impartial, and willing to keep an open mind. It is a role you should assume with pride.

We recognize that jury service sometimes requires sacrifices and may interrupt your personal and business lives. Yet serving as a juror is an important civic responsibility, but also an opportunity to actively participate in the american justice system and see the courts in action.

We have designed this website for jurors, employers, and the general public to help educate as well as provide information that will increase public awareness of the valuable role that both grand and petit (trial) jurors play in our democratic system of government.

This website if for you, and we hope that you find the resources and information contained herein, useful and helpful. If you have comments or suggestions, please visit the Contact Us page.
