Petit Jury Service

We have reviewed your completed qualification questionnaire and have determined that you are qualified as a juror based on U.S. citizenship; ability to read, write, speak and understand the English language; age and status of health.

As a qualifed summoned juror, you will be "on call" for a period of two weeks up to one month. Although you are on call, you may only be required to appear one to two times. The number of times vary depending on the needs of the court.

It is important that you call the automated telephone message each weekend as indicated on your summons, to insure that your services will still be needed that week. Your failure to call that telephone number may prohibit you from being paid if you appear for selection and the message had indicated that your services were not needed that week.

Should you request to be excused from or postpone your jury service, you must place your request in writing no less than two weeks prior to your reporting date. Your letter must be received well in advance of your scheduled jury service date. Please address all requests and supporting documentation to one of the following addresses:
