The North Dakota Supreme Court's Jury Standards Committee has proposed several procedures for resuming jury trials amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The court in mid-March suspended through April 24 both civil and criminal jury trials that weren't already in progress. That suspension was later extended through July 1.
The committee has recommended a COVID-19 questionnaire be included in jury summons. It contains seven yes-or-no questions, one of which allows people 60 or older to request their excusal due to the risk associated with their age demographic.
