New jury trials suspended at all Alberta courthouses

Mar 14, 2020 | 9:59 AM

All jury trials in Alberta have been suspended until at least the end of May due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The move comes a day after Alberta’s chief medical officer advised against any public gatherings of 250 people or more.

People already sitting on a jury as part of an ongoing trial are required to report to court as usual.

New jury trials have also been suspended in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario.
