I have jury duty tomorrow at the Malden District Court. does anyone know if you can bring your laptop in? (I couldn't find the answer on their website, and I think they just closed a few minutes ago because I tried calling and got no answer.) thanks!

I have never been to the Malden court but I would strongly doubt they'd be allowed. You can't even bring a cell phone to Somerville.

When I did jury duty in Illinois, we were allowed laptops and such in the jury pen while we waited to be selected for a specific case.

Worst case, they tell you you can't use it?

I'd think worst case, they wouldn't let you bring it in at all. I went to a courthouse to get a copy of my birth certificate once (actually in IL as well) and I had to leave my cell phone in the car because it had a camera.

I served in Woburn last year and they allowed mobile phones and laptops in the waiting area. You could carry them into the courtroom but not use them there.

this is still the case as of 3 months ago.

I was on jury duty in Boston last year, and phones and laptops were both allowed in.
