    Good afternoon Family Law Section members,

    Attached for your information is Judge Grant's March 4 notice regarding the Supreme Court's authorization of the summoning of new jury pools for possible in-person reporting for socially distanced jury trials.  As described in the notice, the modified summons documents will inform prospective jurors (1) that the jury selection process will begin in a virtual format; and (2) that their service may continue virtually or may involve reporting in person to a courthouse with safety precautions.  The new "virtual or in-person" summons option will apply to jury pools scheduled to report on or after May 17, 2021.  

    All the best,
    Barb
