Dress up or business casual.

People will show up in all kinds of clothes.

Just appear presentable, and don't be too revealing.

I suggest Wearing a blouse & dress pants. Be prepared for security at the entrance. Try to avoid wearing heels, because the tap tap sounds might annoy cases proceeding in other courtrooms, and you will have to stand for quite a while sometimes. BTW, in which state is this ?

Dress comfortable and maybe some light layers. I was packed into a drafty auditorium with a starting number of 300 potential jurors the first day, the second day it had been whittled down to 80 of us packed liked sardines on folding metal chairs in a hot tiny courtroom. I wouldn't worry about dressing up, other than being presentable. Unless you're actually selected for a jury, you may never been seen or talked to by anyone except as part of a group.

Thanks everyone. I will definitely wear layers. I don't like being cold.

I want the experience of being a juror and participating in the process. It's something very different from my typical routine.

You'll almost certainly be very disappointed.

Regardless, as someone who has picked jurors, dress pretty bland. People who are way underdressed stick out (trying to get out of jury duty), as do people who are way overdressed (trying to hard). Be boring.

I wanted to go selected last time I went too but didn't. What I wish would happen buts it's not practical is when people spout of bs just to get removed from the pool I think they should spend a few nights in the clink

I'm a lawyer who appears in court frequently.

I would actually suggest you wear a dress or skirt. Length should be below the knee. You should wear a nice blouse along with it. No jewelry. If I wore heels, they would be short heels.
You should probably wear hose as well.

You want to dress neatly and conservatively.
