Oregon Jury Duty

Have you been called to serve on a jury in Oregon? You may be asking yourself, “Do I have to?” “Should I ask to stay or should I ask to go?”

There is no doubt that jury service is an inconvenience for many people. However, it’s a part of civic duty. Without jurors and jury trials, the right to trial by jury wouldn’t exist. Justice would be denied. Innocent people would be convicted. The government would abuse it’s power.

If you are called to serve on an Oregon jury, treat the matter with the seriousness that you’d handle anything else of critical importance in life. A birth. A death. A wedding. A graduation. A serious health issue. While this might possibly sound extreme, jury trials have a great impact on the people involved.
