What to Expect if Sworn as a Juror

Jury Service is not voluntary, but a civic duty imposed upon all citizens by statute. If your summoned date is not convenient, you may request ONE postponement for a period up to 60 days. The jury staff will be as flexible as possible when rescheduling your service. Your request must be submitted 5 or more business days prior to service.
