The first week of jury panels is ramping back up in 2023 at the courthouse and the justice center, but the flu and COVID-19 are still causing concerns about whether jurors will appear.
“We are concerned, but we are still meeting the requirements needed for a complete panel,” said Chief Central Jury Bailiff Julieta Schultz.
“If they don’t come, courts can’t have jury trials, and if you can’t have a trial, then justice isn’t being served,” Schultz said. Once you get a summons in the mail, you must register online. Read those summons closely because you will likely have to report through a Zoom call first, not at the Central Jury Room.This process prevents hundreds of people from reporting into one room simultaneously.

Utah is one of the states targeting transgender health care in first bills of 2023Republican state lawmakers are following up a midterm election and record flow of anti-transgender legislation last year by zeroing in on bodily autonomy with proposals to limit gender-affirming health care and abortion access.
