Overview

Jury Service Overview

The statewide jury program is administered by the State Court Administrator’s Office, a Consolidated Jury Unit and the district courts in all 87 counties. Each county has a jury commissioner under Minnesota General Rule of Practice 803. As authorized and required by Rule 804, the jury commissioners have adopted the Minnesota State Jury Administration Plan, which describes the state’s jury program procedures.

The idea of a jury of our peers has been fundamental to the American justice system since its beginning. A group of 6 to 12 men and women from all sections of the community sit down together and hear a case of law. These individuals listen to the facts of the case, consult among themselves, and come to a verdict.
