The court's normal hours of operation are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Prospective jurors should make arrangements to remain the entire day, as well as into the evening on some occasions.  Judges make every effort to end the day’s trial activities by 5 p.m., but there are sometimes circumstances when extending activities into the evening hours is unavoidable.  On rare occasion, jurors may be asked to appear on weekends.  Judges will let you know with as much advance notice as possible when such situations arise.
