Hours
Juror hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise informed by court personnel. Please plan to stay the entire day. On occasion, jurors may be required to remain available in the Jury Assembly Room after 5:00 p.m. We suggest jurors bring reading materials or small projects to pass the time while awaiting assignment to a courtroom.
Lunch/Breaks
Jurors have at least an hour for lunch. There is no cafeteria located on the premises; however, there are several eating establishments within easy walking or driving distance. Jurors may also bring their lunch. Complimentary coffee and tea are offered in the Jury Assembly Room as well as vending machines, a refrigerator and microwave. Breaks are announced throughout the day.
Facilities
Restrooms are located in the Jury Assembly Room. The courthouse is a non-smoking facility. An outside patio is available for the convenience of smokers. Problems with the Jury Assembly Room facilities should be reported to Jury staff.
Term of Service
The Court's term of service is one-day or one-trial. At the conclusion of the initial day of service, jurors not sworn to serve on a trial and not ordered to return for a second or subsequent days of jury selection will have completed their jury service for a minimum of one year.
New Parking Information
Additional Juror parking is located in the open lot north of the courthouse at Jackson Street and 15th Street. Parking passes, included in your summons, should be visibly displayed in your vehicle. Individuals with disabilities may park in any designated handicap parking space at no charge. A handicap placard must be displayed. Juror parking is still available in the open lot west of the Library on 13th Street as shown on your jury summons.
Proof of Service
A Certificate of Jury Service form will be available in the Jury Assembly Room at the end of the day. If on a trial, the Sheriff personnel in the courtroom will provide you with a certificate.
