Agenda Item

Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a line item transfer for the All District Courts.

Background

When juries are engaged in deliberation, Judges work to keep the juries together in order to expedite resolution of the case.  Depending on the time at which a case goes to the jury for deliberation, in order to keep the jury working toward a verdict, the Court provides an appropriate meal (lunch or dinner).  All jurors and alternates are provided with a meal, as they are not allowed to leave during deliberation.

Of the District Court cases where juries have been seated, 13 have been in deliberation over a meal period and the Courts have provided an appropriate meal for the jurors.
