The state court system is moving closer to returning to holding jury trials across the state. Supreme Court Justice Matthew McDermott co-chaired the committee which reviewed and made recommendations on the issue. The Supreme Court released a list of guidelines Wednesday it will follow for jury trials, and McDermott says they could be put in place soon.

McDermott says the courts may summon larger jury pools than in the past in anticipation of some jurors not being able to come in because of virus symptoms.  All of the proposed guidelines for restarting jury trials are on the judicial system’s website.
