Jury Duty

Welcome

Welcome to jury service. We sincerely hope that your stay with us will provide you with an enjoyable, interesting, educational, and meaningful experience regarding the law, the Courts, and our own system of justice.

To decide cases correctly, jurors must be honest and intelligent. They must have both integrity and judgement. The jury system is based on these attributes. Jurors must decide the facts and apply the law impartially. They must not favor the rich or the poor. They must treat alike all men and women, corporations, and individuals. Justice should be rendered to all persons, regardless of race, color, or creed.

The performance of jury service is the fulfillment of a civil and moral obligation. Conscientious service brings its own reward in the satisfaction of an important task well done. There is no more valuable work that a citizen can perform in support of the judicial system of government than the full and honest discharge of jury duty.

The purpose of the following information is to familiarize you with some of the facets of jury service. It is not intended to advise you about the law, as this is the Judge's responsibility. The law can be different in each case.

Jury Instructions & Questionnaire

Here at the Youngstown Municipal Court, jury service strives to operate as a one day, one trial system. That means jurors will be required to appear no longer than two consecutive days, during the two week session.

Step 1

Upon receiving a Summons to Appear for Jury Duty, each juror must complete a Jury Questionnaire (see link below), no later than three (3) days from receiving their summons.

Jury Questionnaire - ONLINE

Step 2

Excusals may be granted for a variety of reasons, but must meet the statutory requirements (see list below) and be submitted no later than five (5) days after receiving a summons.

No excusal request will be processed, unless a Jury Questionnaire has first been submitted.

Requests can be made by FAX to (330) 742-1768, by emailing jury@youngstownohio.gov, or by completing a Request for Excusal from Jury Duty form (see link below).

Statutory Requirements for Excusal from Jury Duty

Active Military: Persons in active military status are not required to serve. Proof of active military status if required.
Age: Persons 75 years of age or older can qualify to be excused but are still welcome to serve. Persons under the age of 18 are not eligible to serve.
Caregiver: Persons who are the sole caregiver to an ill or disabled family member can qualify to be excused. Written documentation from the family member’s physician may be required.
Childcare: Persons who have an obligation to provide childcare during business hours Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and do not have a comparable care solution are eligible to be excused.

Full-Time Student: Person who are currently enrolled as a full-time student can qualify to be excused but are still welcome to serve.
Loss of Income: Persons who have an employer that does not pay for jury service are eligible to be excused. Please be sure to check the company’s complete policy on how jury service is handled. (Also see Self-Employed)
Medical Reasons: A letter from a physician is required stating that the person is unable to serve for medical reasons.
Non-English Speaking: Jurors are required to be able to speak, read, write, and communicate in the English language.
Non Resident or Non-Citizen: Persons who are no longer a resident of Youngstown or the United States are not eligible to serve. Proof of the new address is required.
Self-Employed: Persons who are self-employed and would suffer financial hardship are not required to serve. The first page of the most recent tax return is required.

Step 3

Jurors are instructed to start calling (330)742-8822 the day before they are scheduled to serve to receive reporting instructions. Each day, for two weeks, jurors must continue to call this number to receive reporting instructions for the following day. This number will provide information on whether they need to report for service, along with the date and report time, or if they will need to continue to be “on-call.”

Jurors will be given a one day advance notice to report for jury service. Jurors will call the jury telephone number listed on the summons and listen for their last name and juror number. If a juror hears both then they would be required to appear for jury duty at the scheduled date and time. The last day of jury service will be the Friday of the second week. Jurors will not be asked to extend jury service beyond this date.

The Youngstown Municipal Court is located at 9 West Front Street, Youngstown, OH 44503 (Map ).

Steps in a Trial

Selection of a Jury. Jurors are selected for a trial from the pool of available jurors. The Judge and attorneys question the jurors in a process called "voir dire", which means "to speak the truth". This is to determine if a juror has a personal interest in the case, a prejudice, or bias that may wrongly influence him/her in duty as a juror.

The attorneys may challenge some jurors and ask the Court to excuse them from the trial. There are two types of challenges. Challenge For Cause is a request to the Judge that a prospective juror not be allowed to serve on the jury for some specific cause or reason (e.g. he/she is not qualified under the provisions of the statute. Peremptory Challenge is a challenge that may be made without any specific reason or cause. Although peremptory challenges are limited in number, each side has an unlimited number of challenges for cause.
Opening Statements. Both the Plaintiff and Defendant have the opportunity to outline the case they will be presenting to the jury during the trial. Opening Statements are not evidence. They are only explanations of what each side expects the evidence to prove.
Presentation of Evidence and Testimony of Witnesses. The Plaintiff's or the Prosecution's case is presented first. As each witness testifies, the side that called the witness asks questions in Direct Examination. Then the opposing side has the opportunity to ask questions in Cross Examination. Physical evidence, such as documents, weapons, or photographs may be admitted into evidence and numbered for identification.

During the trial, if an attorney objects to a question posed by the other attorney to a witness, he/she presents his/her objection to the Judge. These are questions of legal technicality and may be argued out of your hearing. Do not be concerned. The Judge will advise the jury of any information you need to make your decision or instruct you to disregard what should not be considered. A ruling by the Judge to sustain or overrule an objection does not mean the Judge is taking sides. He/she is applying the law, which permits or does not permit the question to be asked or answered.

When each side has presented all its evidence, the attorney will "rest" their case.
Closing Arguments. The attorneys summarize the evidence and try to persuade the jury in favor of their client. The Plaintiff or the Prosecution has the burden of proof and therefore has the opportunity to begin Closing Arguments and to rebut following the Defense's Closing Argument.
Presentation of Jury Instructions (Charging the Jury). The Judge gives the instructions of law to the jury, defines the issues the jurors must decide and informs them of the law that governs the case. Jurors have a sworn duty to decide the case based on the law the Judge gives them, not how they think the law should be.
Deliberation. The jury retires to the deliberation room to consider the case and reach a verdict. The jury first elects a foreperson whose duty it is to see that discussions are conducted in a sensible and orderly fashion, that all issues are fully and fairly discussed, and that every juror is given a chance to participate. If the jurors have a question, it must be put in writing and given to the Chief Bailiff, who will deliver it to the Judge.

When a unanimous verdict has been reached, each juror must sign the verdict in ink. The foreperson will then notify the Chief Bailiff. Jurors must not reveal any aspect of their deliberations until the verdict is read in open court by the Judge.

FAQ

View Questions

Do I have to respond to the summons to serve as a juror?

Yes. The Summons to Jury Service is an official court summons. If you do not respond or report for jury service without a lawful excuse from the Court, you could be brought before the Court on a charge of Contempt of Court. If found in Contempt by the Judge, the Court could impose a fine and/or other punishment as provided by Ohio law.

I received a jury summons for a deceased family member. What should I do?

We apologize for any undue hardship this has caused. Please mark the outside of the summons "Deceased" with the date of death and return it in the enclosed self-addressed envelope.

Am I at the right courthouse?

If your jury summons is from the Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas, that courthouse is located at 120 Market Street, Youngstown, OH 44503, (330) 740-2219, across the street from the Youngstown Municipal Court.

The Youngstown Municipal Court is located at 9 West Front Street, Youngstown, OH 44503 (Map

What kind of cases will be heard?

The Youngstown Municipal Court has jurisdiction over criminal and traffic misdemeanor cases. The Court also hears civil actions involving less than $15,000.

What do I do when I receive my summons?

Complete a Jury Questionnaire (see link below).
- Jury Questionnaire - ONLINE
Call (330)742-8822 the day before you are scheduled to report for service.
Check in on the third floor of the Youngstown Municipal Courthouse on the day you are advised to report.

Who is eligible to be a juror?

To be eligible for service, a person must be at least 18 years of age, citizens of the United States, and a resident of Youngstown. Jurors must also be able to communicate in the English language and be physically and mentally capable of serving.

Jurors need to be able to listen carefully, follow instructions, keep an open mind, be willing to make a decision free from personal feeling or biases, respect the opinion of each juror, and value the different viewpoints each juror can bring to the case.

How did my name get selected for jury duty?

Jurors names are selected at random from a list of registered voters provided by the Board of Elections.

Do jurors get paid for their service?

For each day of reporting, jurors receive $15 and will be reimbursed for parking. After the completion of jury service, a check will be issued and mailed to the juror’s provided residential address.

What if my employer requires me to turn in a statement that verifies my attendance at jury duty?

Jurors may request verification of attendance from the Jury Commissioner on their last day of service or by emailing jury@youngstownohio.gov.

What should I wear for jury duty?

Wear comfortable clothing that enhances the dignity of the Court and emphasizes the seriousness of your responsibility. Shorts, hats, tank tops, t-shirts, sweatsuits, or other informal attire is not considered appropriate in the courtroom.

What hours will I serve?

Normal business hours at the Courthouse are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. On days that you report for jury service, you can expect to be there during these normal business hours. It is extremely important that you be on time. If not selected for a jury, you will be excused for the day. Jurors are given a lunch break and may be given other breaks during the trial. On occasion, a trial will extend beyond the normal working hours. If this happens, you may need to arrange your schedule to allow you to stay longer.

Is it possible that I might report for jury service but not sit on a jury?

Yes. The parties involved in a case generally seek to settle their differences and avoid the expense and time of a trial. While the case may be settled just a few moments before the trial begins, your time is not wasted. Your presence encourages settlement.

Parking Information

Parking is available for a fee at the following locations. Please note that parking reimbursement is only available for the Jaminet Parking Lot, with provided receipt of payment.

FYI

Criminal/Traffic Division

When the City or the State charges an adult with a crime or traffic offense in Youngstown, that case comes before the Municipal Court. The Court handles misdemeanor offenses (where the maximum penalty is generally up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine). It also handles initial appearances and preliminary hearings in felony cases. The Court does not hear cases involving persons under 18 years of age who are charged with acts that would be crimes if committed by an adult.

FAQ

View Questions

I was given a ticket for driving with a suspended license, what can I do?

Read Answer

As with all criminal and traffic cases, you are innocent until proven guilty. However, if you acknowledge you were in the wrong, the Court has a program that allows you to take steps to get valid and then return to Court and plea to amended charges that will not further hinder your ability to drive. You can find out the requirements to get your license reinstated by entering your personal information at the BMV website

. If you are interested in taking advantage of this program, you must appear at your initial court date.

If I cannot afford to pay all my fines and costs, can I go on a payment plan?

Read Answer

When you appear in court, you can request to be put on a payment or installment schedule.

How do I apply for a court appointed attorney?

Read Answer

If you have been charged with an offense where jail may be imposed, and you are unable to pay for an attorney, an attorney can be assigned to represent you. When you appear in court and request an attorney, the Court will determine if you are indigent and appoint you an attorney.

Do I have to have a lawyer?

Read Answer

You are constitutionally guaranteed the right to represent yourself in Court. You cannot, however, represent another person or business entity, unless you are an attorney.

Be advised that if you choose to represent yourself, you are responsible for the full knowledge of the law and will be expected to present yourself and the case within the rules established by the Court and the law. Staff in the Clerk’s office cannot give you legal advice, and the Judges and Magistrates cannot give you legal advice. If you have questions, you should consult an attorney.

If you have been charged with a crime for which the possible penalties include jail, and you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for a court appointed attorney.

I am scheduled for a pretrial, what does that mean?

Read Answer

A pretrial is the opportunity for your case to be discussed with the prosecutor representing the community that has filed the case against you. It may also include the involvement of either the judge assigned to the case or a magistrate. These are scheduled by the Court, and you will receive notice of the date and time of that pretrial. If you are represented by an attorney, the attorney can explain to you the pretrial process. If you are not represented by an attorney then the prosecutor will discuss the case with you to see if the case can be resolved prior to a trial. Pretrial discussions may include a plea bargain, in which the prosecutor may purpose a resolution of the case prior to trial with some form of a plea resolution that may include being convicted of some cases and dismissing or amendment of the charges. If a plea bargain is agreed upon, then the case is referred to the Judge or Magistrate for disposition. If an acceptable plea bargain cannot be negotiated, or the case cannot otherwise be resolved, the case will then be scheduled for trial.

I missed my court date and a warrant has been issued for my arrest- what should I do now?

Read Answer

If you are represented by an attorney, he or she should be contacted immediately to discuss your options. If you are not represented by counsel, you should call (330) 742-8860, immediately.

My relative/friend was arrested and I posted a bond for his/her release. When will I get my money back?

Read Answer

First, you should be aware that the purpose of any bond is to guarantee that the defendant will make all scheduled court appearances. If the defendant fails to appear at court appearances, you may not get the bond money back. The return of your bond money depends on what type of bond you posted, and when the case is concluded. If you posted a surety bond by using a bail bondsman, you will not get that money back. If you posted a cash bond with the court, your money will be returned at the absolute end of the case, if the defendant made all court appearances. You will need to present your receipt to the Clerk of Court after the defendant is sentenced and any other outstanding costs have been paid.

How many points will be assessed to my license for a traffic violation?

Read Answer

Most moving traffic violations carry a penalty of two (2) points. Moving violations include such offenses as speeding, running a red light, improper lane change, and improper turn. Some violations carry a higher point potential. These include driving under the influence of alcohol and/or, driving under suspension, reckless operation, and drag racing. These violations can carry anywhere from four (4) to six (6) points. Non-moving violations such as equipment, and seat belts usually are considered zero (0) point violations.

You may be able to avoid the addition of points to your license. See the Traffic Safety Program for more information.

Specialty Courts & Dockets

Suspended License Intervention Program (SLIP)

SLIP Court benefits those who otherwise would not be able to recover from a cycle of continuing license suspensions, by helping defendants understand why suspensions occur and how valid licenses can be obtained. SLIP Court personnel work directly with individuals, by contacting the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and other agencies on the defendant’s behalf, to inquire about the problems and help clear the suspensions. The goal is to restore defendants’ driving privileges.

Baldwin currently presides over this docket. The target population of the program includes offenders who have been charged with criminal offenses and the court has reason to believe that drug and/or alcohol usage was a contributing factor leading to their criminal behavior.

You have not completed the Youngstown Municipal Court’s Traffic Safety Program within the past four years,
You do not have a Commercial Driver License (CDL), and

Probation

The Probation Department provides services to the court that include:

conducting competency evaluations
making referrals for mental health and substance abuse treatment
Suspended License Intervention Program
conducting pre-sentence investigations
monitoring probationers, Electronic House Arrest orders, and community service.

Court History

Background

The Youngstown Municipal Court Act went into effect on January 1, 1914 and made provisions for two judges. In 1929, the Act was amended and provisions were made for a court consisting of three judges. The criminal division was housed in the police station and the civil in the old town hall on West Federal Street. Due to population decline, upon the retirement of Judge Robert A. Douglas, Jr. in 2012, the court reverted to two judges. In 2018, the court moved into newly-renovated facilities in the City Hall Annex building at 9 West Front Street.
