Pillar: Community
Lead directorate: JACS
Overview
Members of the community can be required to make a direct contribution to the administration of justice in our Territory by serving as a juror. The ACT Courts and Tribunal will deliver a new electronic solution to improve the management of juror selection and related processes, including the ability for community members to engage in these processes online.
Benefits
This initiative will streamline juror selection and processes so interaction with the court is simplified.
Status update

March 2021 | Work on the Jury Management System (JMS) is progressing. The JMS will provide greater support to the processes for selecting jurors, managing juror payments and related matters. The new system will allow jurors and potential jurors to interact with the court via a number of channels, including a new juror portal. The impact of the COVID-19 public health emergency on court work including the suspension of jury trials has postponed the launch of the new system and the revised go live is expected to be in Q3 of 2021 for the first stage of JMS. |
