I am legally blind. Can I still serve on a jury?
Absolutely! There are many trials where visual testimony is not presented, in which case you are welcome to serve if you feel comfortable doing so. If you choose to not serve however, we will need a doctor’s note asking to excuse you based on your visual impairment.
