FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FROM: PRESIDING JUDGE MICHAEL A. YOUNGPETER

DATE: November 24, 2020
_______________________________________________________

Recently, Mobile County was moved into the “high risk” category for
COVID-19 transmission. Accordingly, in consultation with public health
officials, the Court entered an administrative order suspending jury trials
in Mobile County until January 11, 2021. The Court will continue to
consult with public health officials to determine whether jury trials may
safely recommence at that time.

If you received a juror summons for the week of November 30 or

December 7, you do NOT need to report to jury duty.

New summons will be sent for trials beginning January 11, 2021.
