What does a person wear to jury duty?

Question

What does a person wear to jury duty?

Answer 1

Business casual.

For example a male would wear: clean shirt (with collar), slacks not jeans, dress shoes not sports shoes.  Don’t wear/carry a lot of metal since you will likely pass through a metal detector of some type.

Think about it. What you would like to see from the jury if you were the defendant…a juror in an ACDC tee shirt who looks like they just rolled out of bed?

Answer 2

your underwear on the outside of your outfit and a clown wig that should do the trick

Answer 3

Regular decent attire, an they'll probably eliminate you from duty because you'd be seen as too knowledgeable, decent or sensible.

Answer 4

Business casual is okay.

Answer 5

Nothing "provacative" or you'll be sent home & made to come back & start all over. No shorts for men.

Answer 6

try to find a orange jumpsuit... stencil numbers on the left chest side.. this would be fun

Answer 7

Well I would wear a chicken suit,  only if it was a wed though!

Answer 8

You need to dress neatly and cleanly. There is not a dress code per se, just dress so you do not provide a distraction or a general offense to others.

Answer 9

Comfortable decent clothes....it tends to be a long day at best

Answer 10

Dress with respect for the institution. Clean, neat. Business wear (suit, sports coat and nice slacks) if you have it. If not, business casual would be acceptable in most communities. If you can't do either of these, make sure you are clean, well groomed. No T-shirts with slogans; do not wear your shortest skirt, tightest jeans or revealing shirt. Mostly, dress in a way that will not draw attention to yourself. Serving on a jury is a serious responsibility of citizenship; being asked is a great privilege and an honor. Treat the occasion and the institution with respect for the hundreds of years of sacrifice that have made the jury trial possible.

Answer 11

Business casual, or something you would go to church in, or if you work in an office setting - something you would wear to work with no cleavage!

Answer 12

Clothes.

Answer 13

Nice, clean clothes.  Jeans are fine, but make sure they're not your old cruddy pair.  No tank tops, halters, midriffs....think of it this way..how would you want your kid to look for school?  Pants or jeans and a nice shirt is plenty.

Answer 14

If you're a man, then you MUST wear a red dress with fishnet tights and high heals... and if you're a woman then you must dress like a d**e, meaning having a crew cut beforehand!

It's true, I saw it in a documentaly ;)

Failing that, smart clothes (not necessarily suit and tie) and smart shoes, otherwise the other members of the jury won't take you seriously.

Answer 15

clothing and a calm demeanor

Answer 16

Male: suit.

Female: female equivalent to suit.

Answer 17

According to the court's code of ethics, wear what you would expect to see the jury wear if you were to be put on trial.  If you're a man, dressing up in plain comfortable casual shirt, such as a polo, and comfortable jeans that are in good repair.  It is highly recommended that you wear a business suit with a tie.

If you're a female, wear non revealing clothing, such as a ladies' polo and pants that are loose, but not form conforming.  If you wish to wear a dress, make sure the dress is not revealing, and does not go any higher than your knees.  Jewelry is not recommended, so dress as if you are asked to appear at a casual dinner.

Answer 18

casual clothing and remember to take your patience with you.

Answer 19

Anything as long as it covers ur body and would not offend a judge.

Answer 20

business attire.. at least I would?

Answer 21

Nothing!

Answer 22

A woman should wear a comfortable skirt or pair of slacks with a tasteful blouse or shirt.  Bring a sweater - often courtrooms are chilly.

Answer 23

something comfortable because you may be there a long time.

Answer 24

You wear nice clothing. Not Sunday go to meeting but close.

Answer 25

any thing just look smart

Answer 26

Business casual is probably good enough for jury duty.

Answer 27

It depends on how bad you want to get out of it. Maybe an S&M outfit or something along those lines would get you excused.

Answer 28

casual wear.  but u should try to get out of it

Answer 29

something tasteful no 4 inch skirts and 10 inch heels maybe a nice 2 or 3 piece suit no jeans,khakis, or shorts. nice shoes if you don't like heels i suggest flats or dress shoes pull your hair back off your face and little to no makeup. your job is not to impress the people with your body its to do your civic duty
