'''Jan.24, 2021''': Here is the status of '''jury trials in Yamhill County''' per our PJ Easterday as of January 25, 2021

Most Jury Trials postponed through March 12, 2021:  Most jury trials will remain suspended through at least March 12, 2021. Jury trials may still proceed where a statutory or constitutional right is implicated or if the Presiding Judge finds good cause upon motion of a party or by the court. 

Yamhill County is currently at the Extreme Risk Covid-19 level pursuant to Executive Order 20-66.  Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Order(CJO)  20-047, “Order Imposing In-Person Restrictions on Court Operations During Statewide ‘Freeze,’” is currently in effect. The court is following the Chief Justice Order. The restrictions on conducting jury trials will remain in effect until the CJO 20-047 is terminated. At that time jury trials will resume two weeks following the lifting of the CJO’s restrictions.
