(Submitted by Wood County Common Pleas, Probate, Juvenile and Municipal Courts)
The Wood County courts are committed to the safety of citizens and limiting their exposure to the COVID-19 virus. At the same time the courts have an obligation to continue operations meeting the rights of citizens under both the United States and Ohio Constitutions, which include holding jury trials when absolutely necessary.
We want to assure every Wood County citizen that all the courts are doing their utmost to find possible resolutions to matters set for jury trials. But in spite of our best efforts there may be situations where a jury trial is absolutely necessary.
If a citizen has been called to jury duty they are encouraged to contact the jury office at 419-354-9620 or 877-354-9620 if they are over 60 years of age, have a compromised immune system, or are showing signs of possible infection from COVID-19.
Citizens called for jury duty to the municipal courts may call 419-352-5263 for Bowling Green and 419-872-7925 for Perrysburg.
The courts will do everything they can to ensure social distancing for those who do serve as jurors and provide all the resources available to the courts to maintain an environment that limits the spread of COVID-19 within all participants in the jury trial.
All Wood County Courts are committed to the safety and security of its citizens and similarly committed to the constitutional rights of those same citizens. If you are called to jury duty we ask that you meet your obligation as a citizen if you are physically able.
If you have questions about jury service during this time please do not hesitate to contact the court for which you have been called as a juror.
Judge Alan Mayberry, Judge Mark Reddin, Judge Mary “Molly” Mack, Judge Aram Ohanian, Judge Matthew Reger, Judge David Woessner
