New Jersey Judiciary Celebrates Juror Appreciation Week
New Jersey Judiciary Celebrates Juror Appreciation Week
The New Jersey Judiciary is highlighting Juror Appreciation Week to recognize the contributions to justice made by jurors.
Linked closely with Law Day on May 1, Juror Appreciation Week is celebrated May 4-8 this year.
A New Jersey resident can be summoned for one of three types of jury service: as a petit juror, a grand juror, or a state grand juror. Petit jury service includes criminal and civil trials. Grand jurors, either in their home county or on a state grand jury panel, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to move forward with criminal charges against a defendant.
