Yes. Standard size of a jury in a civil case in Federal court is 8-10 jurors, depending on how long the trial is scheduled to last. They used to seat 2 people as alternate jurors but later got rid of alternates in Federal court, so now you just seat enough people that you can afford to lose a couple over the duration of a long trial and still have at least 6 remaining. Otherwise, civil juries can be as few as 6 jurors or as many as 12 + however many alternates. A rough rule of thumb would be something like minimum number of jurors required + 1 juror for each week of trial. Criminal juries are always 12 jurors. (I'm a jury consultant)
