Erie Trial Lawyers Post Jury Duty Faqs

February 6, 2011

February 7, 2011, ERIE, PA — I read today about a judge in McKean County who has observed that fewer jurors are showing up for jury duty and who wants to impose stiffer penalties for those who shirk their duty.

It made me think about how important jury duty is to our society and how the failure to participate, if it becomes the norm, will ultimately doom our system. Fortunately, most people still participate voluntarily and, after serving, most people report that serving as a juror was an interesting and uplifting experience. Unfortunately, a lot of people still don’t know much about jury service.

I thought it might be helpful to post some FAQs about jury duty in Erie County. If you’re interested in details of jury duty in Erie County, Pennsylvania, you can find more information in our articles library in “Frequently Asked Questions About Jury Duty. “
