Glaswegians could be receiving a familiar sight in the post today - a jury citation for the High Court in Glasgow.
Trials are due to restart at the High Court in Edinburgh and Glasgow next month and so a new wave of potential jurors will receive letters for the first time since lockdown began.
The citation includes a pamphlet on the safety measures in place for the accused, jurors, witnesses, lawyers, staff and judiciary.
Lady Dorrian, The Lord Justice Clerk said, “The courts have been working extremely hard to deliver justice in the current coronavirus circumstances.
“I am satisfied that this work, along with the work undertaken by the Re-starting Jury Trials working group in collaboration with the SCTS and our justice partners, will enable jury trials to take place in a way that ensures the safety and confidence of jurors and all parties, and builds trust in our ability to operate within the strict guidelines set out by Public Health Scotland.”
If you do have to attend court in the near future and you want to know how it will all work then the info is also available online here.
