Juries will be back in Victorian courtrooms from next month if the state's coronavirus numbers stay low.
But only a limited number of cases will be able to go ahead so physical distancing requirements can be met.
Potential jurors will start receiving call-up notices in the coming days for hearings in the Supreme and County courts, beginning from November 16.
The Supreme Court will hold up to three trials at once while County could have up to 10, staggering start times to prevent a build up of people entering and leaving the court through the day.
Courts will also have an early comeback after their summer break, with trials to begin again from January 11.
Safety measures will be put in place, including masks, physical distancing within courtroom and jury rooms and using technology to avoid large gatherings.
Jury pools will be formed remotely and only up to 45 people will be called to court at each time, rather than the up to 200 normally.
A statement revealed the courts would continue to use technology for some hearings to reduce the number of people physically attending courts.
There will also be changes in courtrooms once jurors are selected.
Jury boxes have been extended in the County Court to allow people to sit 1.5 metres apart.
In the Supreme Court, the seating will be shuffled.
Defendants and security will sit in seats usually reserved for media, lawyers will sit in the jury box and jurors will be spaced through the body of the court.
Public gallery will be accessible to family members and media.
Plans are also underway to resume civil and criminal jury trials in regional areas.
"Jury trials will look a little different but they will continue to fulfil their essential role in our criminal justice system," Chief Justice Anne Ferguson and Chief Judge Peter Kidd said on Wednesday.
