Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 1.1-8
Communications with the Court
During the course of the trial you cannot have any communication with the judge (me) except in
open court on the record. If some issue, such as a sudden illness, occurs while the trial is in
progress, you should write a note and give it to the court staff, who will give it to me to respond
to on the record if need be.
If some emergency occurs at some time when court is not in session, you should call the jury
administrator, whose phone number is in your jury notice <or give them the number>, and
explain that you are a member of a jury in <Judge's name>'s courtroom and indicate what the
problem is.
Obviously, since you have been chosen as a juror, it is your duty to be here every day that the
case is on trial, and you can imagine the inconvenience to everyone else if a juror fails to be here
punctually. In the unlikely event that there is some emergency or problem, I have just described
the procedure to follow.
