FAQ
An accused who pleads not guilty may, with the consent of the court and the Commonwealth's Attorney, waive the right to a jury trial and have the case decided by the judge. In civil matters, cases involving non-monetary claims (such as divorce and estate administration) are generally heard by a judge alone.
The consequences of not reporting for jury service are severe. You could be escorted to the courthouse by a deputy U.S. marshal to explain to a judge why you did not report. You also could be fined up to $1000, imprisoned for up to three days, ordered to perform community service, or any combination of the three.
But because that is true for nearly all individuals called for jury duty, most individuals will be required to serve. If you want to defer your service to a later date or be excused, you must make your request in writing to the jury office of the courthouse to which you have been summoned.
Juries decide the fates of criminal defendants and the outcomes of civil cases and are essential to the overall administration of justice.
The right of trial by jury as declared in Article I, Section 11 of the Constitution of Virginia and by statutes thereof shall be preserved inviolate to the parties.
