Paneling & Seating
| ← Back to Home | Court Operations |
Build jury panels for a court date, assign jurors, generate panel documents, and optionally place jurors on a courtroom seating chart.
Accessing Paneling
- Open a court date from the homepage
- On Court Details, open the Paneling tab (between the juror list and Messages)
Creating a Panel
- Click Add / create panel
- Name the panel and choose the court room (and case when applicable)
- Save — the panel appears in the list for this court date
Assigning Jurors
- Select a panel
- Add jurors who are ready for panel (typically already Appeared)
- Remove jurors from the panel if plans change
- Refresh the list if another clerk is working the same court date
Seating Chart
If the court room has a saved seating layout:
- Open Seating chart for the panel
- Place jurors on seats
- Save the chart for print / courtroom use
Court room seating layouts are maintained under Court Rooms.
Panel Documents
From the paneling toolbar you can generate and download panel-related documents (rosters and related PDFs) once jurors are assigned. Document status updates as generation completes.
Tips
- Check in jurors on the Live Queue tab before paneling
- Keep panel names tied to case or court room so the afternoon call is unambiguous
- Re-open the seating chart after last-minute swaps so the printed chart matches the panel
