The Superior Court Marshals are responsible to see that the jury is not improperly influenced, that the jury is promptly available in Court when required, and that the physical needs of the jurors are accommodated.

The jury is rarely kept overnight. In most cases that last more than one day, the jurors are sent home but are warned not to discuss the case. If you are sent home during the course of a trial, you must observe this warning conscientiously. To do otherwise would be to compromise your fellow citizens' right to a fair trial.

Most cases heard by the Superior Court last two to three days. During an ongoing case, lunch is provided for all sitting jurors.

If you are selected to hear a case, you will be given a juror's badge to wear. This will identify you as a juror and help ensure that no one inadvertently comments to you about a case.

When you are in the jury room, the Marshals are available in case the jury chooses to call them for appropriate requests. They will not interrupt the jury otherwise, for no one may intrude upon the jury's deliberation.
