The next jury session in Thomas County is the week of June 23--27, 2008, with the Honorable James E. Hardy presiding over the 3rd Floor Criminal trials. There will be a list below closer to the date.
JURY INSTRUCTIONS
The jury summons you receive in the mail will tell you what time and to which floor of the Courthouse you should report. Do not wear shorts of any design. Be sure the Court has your correct address.
Jury trials generally last all or a portion of one week. The Judge will tell you when to return on subsequent days. Every step will be taken to keep you at the Courthouse for as short a time as possible when not involved in the trial of a case.
Should you have any questions or need any assistance, please speak to the bailiff or security officer. You may also call the Clerk of Court office at 229-225-4108 for further questions regarding jury duty.
The right to jury trials is a fundamental right in our democratic society. It is immemorial; it was brought from England to this country by the colonists, and it became the birthright of every citizen of this country. This right is dear to the American people -- it should be zealously guarded.
Your service as jurors is both a privilege and a civil duty. Be ever vigilant to protect the jury system. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
