Jury Trials

Jury trials are held in Village Court. Jurors are summoned to report directly to the Court. There are no automatic or occupational exemptions from jury service. Work related excuses, requests from employers and financial hardship are not reasons for an adjournment of service. Anyone requesting permanent exemption from service must contact the Chemung County Commissioner of Jurors (607)873-9449. Jurors who serve in Village Court shall receive credit for service and will be ineligible for two years.

All summoned jurors will be on call: an answering machine may be used to give updated reporting instructions to the jurors.

Parking is available in the parking lot on Grand Central Avenue between Broad Street and John Street or on South Main Street directly across from the Village Hall.
