The preservation of this constitutional right to jury trial is the responsibility of the Circuit Court for Harford County. The Court must ensure proper jury selection procedures and has established a jury selection plan which is approved by the Court of Appeals of Maryland. Individuals who serve on juries are given a token compensation for their services. This budgetary account provides for costs associated with jury service, including fees and miscellaneous expenses.
