Video Conferencing Appearances in Criminal and Other Cases

\n

Local Rule effective March 1, 2009:

\n

The Circuit Court Judges of Washington county are committed to avoiding the need to transfer criminal defendants and respondents in Chs. 48, 51, 55, 938 and 980 cases to Washington County for non-critical court appearances and appearances at critical stages of the proceedings where a defendant or respondent wishes not to attend. Any attorney appearing in such a case in Washington county shall be required to notify the judicial assistant for the branch in which a case is pending of the attorney's belief that a hearing in which a defendant or respondent might otherwise be produced will involve other than a critical state of the proceedings or a critical stage of the proceedings where the defendant or respondent wishes not to attend. Critical stages of the proceedings include evidentiary hearings, trials or fact-finding hearings, plea hearings at which a plea of guilty or no contest, or an admission, will be offered, and sentencing or dispositional hearings. Attorneys shall advise the judicial assistant of the appropriate branch of the possibility of a video conference appearance by the defendant or respondent as soon as practicable.

JUROR INFORMATION
\n

\n

Jury duty is the obligation of every citizen. “Forgetting” to show up is not an excuse. In fairness to jurors who do show up for jury duty,those who do not appear are held accountable for their actions.

\n

PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR

\n

Failure to appear for jury duty when summoned could result in contempt of court and possible criminal prosecution pursuant to Wis. Stats. §756.30.

\n

PERIOD OF SERVICE

\n

A juror's term of service shall be for a period of one month and shall not exceed 5 days of actual court attendance except when necessary to complete a trial in a particular case. The majority of trials last an average of 2 or 3 days. A “day of service” is a day for which you appeared and were available to serve on a jury panel.

\n

If you are selected for a jury panel, youserve until that case is completed.If selected, you will have an opportunity to make a call to your employer/family. Evening work is avoided whenever possible. However, if a jury is deliberating, your service may be extended into the evening hours.

\n

If you are not selected to serve that day, you are usually excused within a few hours.

\n

EXCUSE; DEFERRAL

\n

The court may excuse a person from jury service if the court determines that the person cannot fulfill the responsibilities of a juror. The court may also defer jury service to a later date if the court determines there is undue hardship.

\n

Please notify the court if you are requesting deferral due to important personal or business commitments, vacation, etc. If you have a medical condition that would prevent you from serving, a medical excuse from your physician is required. If you are requesting to be excused for employment reasons, a letter from your employer must accompany your request.

\n

Requests to be excused or to have your service deferred must be made as soon as possible.

\n

You may send a written request to be excused online, via mail, or fax. The quickest method is online at https://juryrequest.wicourts.gov. A response to your request to be excused will be sent.

\n

MEALS
\n

\n

If you are chosen to serve on a jury, the judge may release you for lunch on your own. However, it is important to return to the courthouse by the time specified by the judge.

At the end of your term, you will be reimbursed $7.50 for each meal you had on your own while serving on a specific trial. This amount will be included on the check for your jury service.

\n

During deliberation or on special order of the judge, the county may provide meals.
