Macomb County Clerk / Register of Deeds Carmella Sabaugh and Mount Clemens Public Library Director Donald Worrell examine a book that is part of the permanent deposit collection housed in the Macomb County Jury Room.  Sabaugh and Worrell recently announced a program that provides jurors with library books from any library in the county and reduces costs to county taxpayers.

• A juror handbook is provided to each juror upon arrival.

• Be prompt.  Allow time for possible travel delays.  Report directly to the jury assembly room or to the judge's jury room if you are serving on a trial.  A lawyer, witness or juror may be found to be in contempt of court for being tardy.

• Sign in. If you are reporting to the jury assembly room, please sign in immediately upon your arrival.

• Dress comfortably, but appropriately.  Clothing should reflect the dignified atmosphere required in a court room.  Tee shirts, shorts, halter-tops, jeans, etc., are not acceptable.  Women are asked to wear a dress, a suit, or a skirt or slacks and a blouse.  Men are asked to wear appropriate attire as well.  Business casual is acceptable.

• Keep valuables with you at all times.

• Juror badges must be worn at all times.  Please return your badge to the Jury Clerk at the end of the day.  If you are serving on a trial, the court officer will collect the jury badges at the conclusion of the case.

• Lunch hour.  Do not consume alcohol or illegal drugs at the noon hour.  Jurors should not discuss the case they are hearing while at lunch.  Return promptly when directed.

• Dismissals for the day.   Jurors should leave the building together, as quickly as possible.  If you are dismissed early, contact your employer to determine whether you should return to work.
