Jury duty summoned?

Question

I got summoned for Jury duty, sent in my paperwork so just waiting for date and time to show up for jury selection.

Dress code says : Jurors should be comfortably attired, befitting the dignity of the court

What is that supposed to mean??? No jeans and tennis shoes?

Answer 1

what that means is don't show up with an offensive t shirt or look like you're going to a nightclub.  there are no hard and fast rules. you can wear jeans and tennis shoes. i noticed you have a bunch of questions re jury duty on this board. don't sweat it, the second you inform them you are pregnant, you will be excused.

Answer 2

Yes.  Nice, casual clothes.  Slacks or Dockers.  Nice tennis shoes would be OK.  Loafers would be better.

Answer 3

i had jury duty a couple of weeks ago, and mostly people wore what they would wear to a business casual office.  it was chilly that day, so i saw a lot of sweaters.  the judge got onto one obviously college-age girl for showing up in club-type clothes that looked like she had simply come to the courthouse from the club.  just go in clothes that you would wear to a job interview.

Answer 4

When I had jusr duty they expected you to habe on your "Sunday" best.  They just dont want holy jeans and filthy t shirts..  Some wore tennis shoes but make sure they are clean looking.
