Voir Dire: Jury Selection
Potential jurors are randomly selected from driver’s license, state ID, and voter registration records. The length of jury service depends on the county in which a juror lives, but cannot exceed four months. Jurors receive a summons that tells them to appear at the courthouse for jury service.
When a jury case is called, court administrators randomly choose potential jurors and send them to a courtroom for interviews, known as voir dire [vwahr deer]. In the courtroom, you will learn more about the case and be questioned by the judge and attorneys so they may determine whether you are qualified to serve. Depending on the type of case or the procedures used in your county, you may be questioned individually or in a group. If you feel you should not serve as a juror, or if you know the parties, witnesses or attorneys involved in the case, tell the judge and attorneys as soon as possible.
During the interview, an attorney may challenge for cause if the attorney feels that a potential juror cannot be fair and impartial. The judge must then decide whether to allow the challenge and excuse the juror. Attorneys may also excuse a juror by using a peremptory challenge, which does not require the attorney to give a reason for excusing a juror. Do not take offense if you are challenged. This is a normal part of voir dire.
If you are not excused, you will become a member of the jury and will take an oath before hearing the case. In criminal cases, alternate jurors may be assigned to a case.

Selection of Jurors
Once a year, a computer merges the county’s driver license list, voter registration list, and Minnesota identification cardholders into one list. From this list, by random selection, jurors are chosen and sent a summons to appear for jury duty.
When the juror reports to the jury assembly room at the courthouse, court personnel will provide orientation and instructions. Following orientation, jurors will go to the courtroom to go through the jury selection process. Jurors will be provided information about the case and questioned by the court and the lawyers for each side. If during questioning, it appears that a juror cannot be fair and impartial, the attorney may challenge the juror for cause. The judge decides whether the juror would not be able to serve. If the judge allows the challenge, the juror is excused from that case. Another type of challenge is the peremptory challenge.The peremptory challenge requires no reason for excusing a juror. Jurors not excused and seated will comprise the jury. Jurors are sworn in and then are responsible to hear the evidence and follow the case to completion of trial.
Telephone Call-in System
JURY INFORMATION LINE: The St. Louis County Court Administrator brings jurors to the courthouse ONLY when we are confident a trial will not settle or plead out. You are instructed on your summons when and where to call on the Jury Information Line. You will hear one of two possible recorded messages:
- All jurors are required to call back again on (date) after 5:00 p.m.
- The following jurors are required to report to the courthouse at (date) and (time). (The names of the jurors will be listed.) All other jurors will be required to call back again on (date) after 5:00 p.m.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you call as instructed. If you do not call and you are on the list and do not show up, you will be called that morning and required to report to the courthouse. If we are not able to reach you by phone, and do not hear from you, an Order to Show Cause may be issued. You will be summoned to the courthouse for a special hearing to explain to the judge why you failed to appear.
The jury call in number in Virginia is (218) 305-7021 Option #2.
More thorough instructions regarding the call-in system will be provided if you contact the court administrator's office.
TRIAL DURATION: The length of a trial can be from 1 day to over 4 weeks. It is very uncommon for a trial to last more than 3 days. Throughout the year, there may be a trial that goes a full week or even 2 weeks. The judge will advise you about the estimated length of the trial.
SICKNESS OR EMERGENCIES: If an illness or emergency prevents your attendance, please call the Court Administrator as soon as possible.
PRESCHEDULED COMMITMENTS: It is very difficult for us to excuse an absence at the last minute, especially after your name has been randomly selected for a trial and listed on the jury information line. If you have a doctor's appointment, previously planned vacation or a legitimate excuse for an absence, we can temporarily pull your name from the jury list before a random list is chosen for a trial.
Please call the Court Administrator as soon as you are aware of a conflict that would prevent you from coming to the courthouse on any given day within your jury term.
OVERNIGHT STAY:Jurors are rarely detained overnight, but you may be sequestered while deliberating on a criminal verdict or for the duration of a highly publicized trial. The Bailiff in charge will notify your family if you are sequestered.
Parking
There is a parking lot directly to the west of the courthouse.
Jury Term
Jury service lasts for 1 month.
Within your jury term your service may result in:
- Calling as instructed and then being discharged by phone at the end of your jury term.
- Calling as instructed, being instructed by phone to come to the courthouse to potentially serve (no more than 3 times within your jury term) before you are discharged after the 3rd time you are brought in or at the end of your jury term, whichever comes first.
- Calling as instructed, being instructed by phone to come to the courthouse and being chosen to serve on a case. At the end of the trial, you may be discharged from further service within your jury term.
Note: If you are selected to sit as a juror on a case that is set near the end of your scheduled jury term, you may be required to serve beyond the 1 month jury term.
Prospective jurors are not required to serve more than once every 4 years. On occasion, a person shows up on the jury list who has served within the past four years. If this is the case with you, please let the court administrator's office know as soon as possible.

Washington County District Court has implemented two significant improvements to jury service, effective Monday, August 24, 2009. The court implemented a phone-in system for person summoned to appear for jury service. In addition, summoned jurors will now be able to complete the required Qualification Questionnaire via the internet.
Prospective jurors are assigned a Group Number on their summons and instructed to call the court’s Juror Information Number (651) 413-8029 at various times throughout their term of service to find out if, when, and how they need to report for a trial. If jurors are called to the courthouse, they are given a short orientation regarding service and then sent directly to a courtroom for jury selection. The time spent waiting will be greatly reduced.
Jurors are randomly selected from a list of licensed drivers, state identification card holders and registered voters residing in your county.
