Every effort is made to minimize waiting time and to release jurors as soon as it is clear that their service is no longer needed on a given date. You should be aware, however, that waiting time forms a part of the very valuable service performed by jurors. Some cases are disposed of without trial because the litigants and the lawyers are aware of the fact that you are ready, able and willing to decide the issues in their respective cases. When this happens, you have performed a service just as important as if a verdict has been rendered and at less cost to the taxpayers than if a full trial had been held.
