Suspension of criminal jury trials extended for 45 more days
The continued suspension of district court trials comes two weeks before Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Lorie Gildea s November order was set to expire. 12:36 pm, Jan. 14, 2021 ×
District courts across the state will continue the pause of in-person jury trials for another 45 days with few exceptions.
The Judicial Council unanimously voted Thursday, Jan. 14, that all new criminal jury trials should be put on hold until March 15.
Since Nov. 30, district courts have been directed to hold all court proceedings remotely unless it is impossible to do so. That direction has continued with the latest order, which will likely be issued Friday by Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Lorie Gildea.
