What can I bring with me to jury service?

The jury process can require a juror to wait a considerable amount of time. For this reason, jurors are encouraged to bring a book or other form of reading material. Laptop computers may also be used (wireless internet is available). Cell phones must be turned off in the courtroom. Please note all visitors to the courthouse are screened for security purposes. Any articles which are deemed to be capable of being used as weapons will be confiscated, as will any other illegal items. This includes all e-cigarettes and vape pens.
