Jury Duty in Pennsylvania

  •  

The Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania has published a new infographic called Jury Duty in Pennsylvania - What You Need to Know. It explains when juries are used and who is eligible to serve on a jury. With a simple, straightforward break-down, the infographic clarifies the differences between criminal and civil juries.  It also provides statistics related to statewide data on criminal and civil jury duty over four years (2017 - 2020, the year COVID began to have a huge impact on daily life and procedures).

Find this and other infographics from the Court's InfoShare program on the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania's media resources page.
