Jury orientation provides an important first impression of the court for prospective jurors. Many courts now use orientation videos to welcome jurors to the courthouse and answer common questions in a systematic and consistent manner. Thoughtful, well-organized orientation videos prepare jurors for their arrival at the courthouse (pre-service videos) or help them better understand their duties once they arrive (in-service videos), making the experience of jury service more positive. This database includes 77 state and local juror orientation videos produced within the past 10 years from 33 states and the District of Columbia. Use the database filters to view pre-service or in-service videos; videos from different states; or to select videos with specific types of content (e.g., history of jury trials, descriptions of courtroom staff, explanations of voir dire, etc.). In creating the database, we developed some well-informed opinions about features that enhance or undermine orientation video effectiveness, which are posted here. If we’ve missed your video, or if you’ve recently updated your video, please let us know so we can include it in the database.
